Feminism. A social theory or political movement supporting the equality of both sexes in all aspects of public and private life; specifically, a theory or movement that argues that legal and social restrictions on females must be removed in order to bring about such equality.

This notion, is mostly been misinterpreted to as Misandry; which is been mostly seen on the Television program, soap operas, home videos or so.

In some country like Saudi Arabia, Vatican, and the rest of its kind, sees it as as an omen, to permit a woman to rule the nation.

Some equal rights are also been denied from them, like in the Saudi Arabia; driving license is been refused to grant to the female gender.
A rape victim will be charged either to marry the rapist or another charge been passed on her.

In Yemen and Afghanistan, a woman is seen as half a witness ; a single woman’s testimony isn’t taken seriously unless it’s backed by a man's testimony or concerns a place or situation where a man would not be .
And women can't testify at all in cases of adultery , libel, theft or sodomy.
And a 'She' had no right to leave the house without the husband's permission.

In Saudi Arabia and Vatican, women are been disenfranchised

In Sudan, a woman dare not wear a trouser or she will be sentenced to 40 or above lashes.

In Pakistan, it is legit for a man to beat the wife, as he wants.

India legalizes the husbands to rape their wives.

In Lebanon and Malta, any man who commits a kidnapping, rape or statutory rape can’t be prosecuted as long as he marries the victim afterwards.

In Egypt and Syria, a man can kill his wife and get off with a far more lenient punishment than is typically given for murder, if he catches her in an act of adultery.

In Nigeria, a man can legally assault a woman without facing prosecution if she is his wife and if there is no ‘grievous’ hurt.

In countries such as Cameroon and Guinea, husbands have control over the jobs that their wives are allowed to do, since a man can ban his wife from having a different trade or profession from him.

In Israel, marriages and divorces sit under rabbinical law, which states that divorces can only take place if requested by the husband.

In Tunisia, women’s inheritance rights are limited: sons inherit twice as much as daughters.

With these laws been disbanded, and equal right been given to the female gender, we will make the world a better place to live.

Say no to Misogyny, say no to Misandry.
Equal right is what we need.
