Contemporary oppression Amanda Geary

Earlier I posted a blog about how Muslim women were oppressed, but never posted any details about about it.  The major issue with Muslim women, is that they are not allowed to show their face.  They must wear a veil that covers their entire face to symbolize their subservience to men.  They must also ride in the backseat of a car.  They cannot change their name when they get married, they must keep their father's name to show identity.  Muslim women are forbidden to go into the community, work, visit family or friends; they are only allowed if their husbands say they are.  While out they must obey the Islamic rules and behave in their best way.  These women are treated like kids.  If the women have the same job as a male, they get paid less.  If the women broke any of these rules, then there were would be severe punishments.  If women were not clothed properly, she would be whipped or verbally abused.  If they were caught having sex outside of  marriage she would be stoned to death.  If her ankles were showing, she would be whipped.  If her fingernails were painted, then they would be chopped off.  These are just some of the reasons why Muslim women represent contemporary oppression.  They have such limited freedom and if they go beyond that freedom, they are punished.  Can you imagine having to follow by all those rules?  I know that I take many of my freedoms for granted.  I don't think that I would be able to last in a country with so many rules and harsh punishments.
