For everyone who thinks that sexism is a thing of the past, or something that only happens in other countries with different cultural codes, we encourage you to reconsider your position. And it’s not just the more nebulous things that women are excluded from. These are actual written laws that are completely enforceable.
You’ll be surprised to learn that there are some truly bizarre laws out there targeting women specifically, and seemingly for no apparent reason other than that they’re women. Some are terrifying, like the laws that allow domestic violence, and some are just downright confusing.


1.) Though this law still exists on the books, it gets broken pretty much every week, as you can imagine. Why married but not single women were okay to jump out of a plane remains something of a mystery, law professor James Woodruff explained to KSHBthat many bizarre laws like this were created for moral reasons in a different time. They stay on because having a law removed is a lot harder than adding one, so everyone just agrees to ignore the ones that no longer make sense.


2.) Yemen is a pretty bad place if you’re a woman. In court, women are literally considered half a person, and their testimony is almost never considered. They also aren’t considered witnesses, regardless of whether or not they have information on a crime. Women are also not protected from domestic or sexual violence, are forbidden from leaving their homes, and can even be subject to “arbitrary arrest” simply for being female.

3.) Apparently, cheese is really sensitive to suspicious ladies. There’s no information, though, about how these evil looks or ill repute are determined. Maybe there’s some kind of checklist.

4.) Human Rights Watch describes the Saudi government’s attitude towards women as the way other countries view minors. They can’t drive or vote, and traveling, studying and working all require written permission from a male guardian. Women have protested these laws by staging “drive-ins” where they would drive through the streets. Attitudes seem to be changing, though, and the Saudi king announced that women would get the vote in 2015. Driving though? Still out of the question.

5.) Iran isn’t exactly known to the rest of the world as a bastion of gender equality (at least, not for the last several decades). The official reason for the law is that the clergy fears that modesty might not be observed at a sporting event if women were in attendance. This included televised sporting events. Female sports fans, though, have long protested these laws, staging protests, sneaking into stadiums and even risking beatings from security guards. During the world cup, dozens of girls and women gathered outside the stadium in Tehran to state their displeasure with the law.

6). In Nigeria, women over 30 are banned from being single. They must get married by force, or risk being stigmatized and becoming pariahs in their communities. Some of them are given the label lesbiian, when they refuse to cave in to the pressure.

Women are their own enemies. They most of the time feel inferrior to men, and that is why there can never be gender equality according to what the MDGs always preaches. Imagine a woman telling me I should treat her like a woman whenever there is a misunderstanding, instead of telling me to treat her like a human.

Muslim does not recognize woman
