The urban middle and upper classes are catching up to women's rights over
there but the women still have to literally scream and demand for what
should be their rights to equal treatment. The vast rural population exists
in a different era I am afraid; there is hope yet, strong feminist movements
in the last decade, an educated (not schooled mind you, educated) men
(albeit a minority still) who are standing with the women's rights advocates
and more open debate...miles to go before we get there though

Well, I was specifically thinking of how they view sex.

Treatment of women is certainly an issue.  The idea that another human
being is less worthy than you, or isn't truly "human", is obscene.
