I agree with what is written above. In the vast majority of countries, women's equality ranges from almost equals to property. There are definitely still issues regarding salary and the number of women executives. I don't happen to work with many women in my profession (petroleum engineering). Part of this is the lack of female engineers and the good old boy feeling of the industry. The women that I have known in this business have definitely been among the best that I have worked with.
My wife tells me that her mother never saw her husbands erect penis in over 20 years of marriage. Sex was something that was done quickly and in total darkness. She told my wife that it was "something that she had to endure". It took me a long tim to get my wife over this kind of attitude. This is just an example of the kind of brainwashing that occurred for years and perpetuated some of the "women as lessers" viewpoints.
