Women Freedom - A Hypocrisy of the Highest Order

Women Freedom is a loud slogan of the West (America, Europe, etc) basically for Muslim women. Let us see how far it is true in its spirit in the West? IN THE WEST: A girl after entering teen age, generally, has to earn money for carrying on her studies and / or meeting her personal expenses. When she becomes a woman, it becomes a compulsion. Does this mean women freedom? After marriage a woman's working to earn money does not end and, if she gives birth to children, she has to work more hours to meet additional expenses. In addition, she has to handle the house-hold plus look after the children. Husband is not bound to meet all the needs of his wife and children. Is it called women freedom? Starting from the age of ten years (may be earlier) body profiles of a girl are examined by boys not only by eyes but with hands and what not. This goes on for years till a man proposes to marry her. By that time several boys / men have tested and tasted her body. Is that a sign of women freedom?Is minor girls giving birth to children (without marriage) any indication of women freedom? Is being lesbian called women freedom? In a country, group marriages are legal with the result when a child is born to one of the women in the group no body knows who is the father. Can that be called women freedom? Some decades ago, electric supply breakdown occurred in some part of USA for, perhaps, 20 minutes. Most of the women trapped in lifts were raped. Does that mean women freedom? HERE ARE SOME STATISTICS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN U.S.A. Between 1 & 4 million women experience serious assault by an intimate partner each year. Nearly 1 in 3 adult women experience at least 1 physical assault by a partner during adulthood.47% of men who beat their wives do so at least 3 times per year.Only about one-seventh of all domestic assaults come to the attention of the police. Each year, an estimated 3.3 million children witness their mothers or female caretakers being abused.Young women, between the ages of 16-24 in dating relationships experience the highest rate of domestic violence and sexual assault. An average of 28% of high school and college students experience dating violence at some point.26% of pregnant teens reported being physically abused by their boyfriends -- about half of them said the battering began or intensified after he learned of her pregnancy. Requests for emergency shelter by homeless families with children increased in 68% of US cities surveyed in 1999.57 % of homeless families identified domestic violence as a primary cause of homelessness.Between one- and two-thirds of welfare recipients reported having suffered domestic violence at some point in their adult lives; between 15 - 32% reported current domestic victimization. Black women experience intimate partner violence at a 35% higher rate than white women. A battered woman who is not a legal resident, or whose immigration status depends on her partner, is isolated by cultural dynamics which may prevent her from leaving her husband or seeking assistance from the legal system. These factors contribute to the higher incidence of abuse among immigrant women.While same-sex battering mirrors heterosexual battering both in type and prevalence, its victims receive fewer protections. Seven states define domestic violence in a way that excludes same-sex victims; 21 states have sodomy laws that may require same-sex victims to confess to a crime in order to prove they are in a domestic relationship. NOTE: The above figures do not include tens of millions of intercourse that occur with mutual consent between girls / women and boys / men other than husband and wife. Footnotes (References) 1.

Is this the culture that West wants to spread among the Muslim community? To be truthful the whole trajectory of women freedom in the West has been tied up with the freedom to uncover their bodies. Women in the west know all what is written above and much more but, they are tied up in the Western society web so tightly that no woman is ready to accept the fact that, in the name of women freedom, she has been enslaved in such a way that she can not run away from remaining a prey to men's desires.
