What is so wrong with being a woman?

You probably have read them, the news telling stories of how women are treated around the world - from the under developed nations to the superpower.

Here are some of them:
  • lower payment for same position in office
  • no right to vote
  • female infanticide (if the word fails you, it means abortion of female babies)
  • no right to inheritance
  • no right to own property / estate
  • cannot pass her nationality to her children if she marries a foreigner (thus, the baby borne out of her cannot be legally accepted as hers????? but only of the father????? try find the logic of THAT one!)
  • subjugation to male authorities
  • limited accesss to education, or none at all
  • limited choices of works
  • taking back seat in politics and economy
  • domestication
  • sexual harassment
  • no recognition as breadwinner
  • cannot claim leadership, especially in religious matters

And yet, your religion teach you to honor your mother, a woman, as she is noble? Honor thy mother, thy wife, thy sister....

Yeah, right!
