Shame.

(This does not give you any right to speak ill of my country or to believe any stereotypes about us, this is a past point of view not completely mine, so this has all changed radically.)

I grew up in a place where women don't have a voice , I grew up watching my mother give up her dreams and ambitions because she's a women  ,I'm not going to sit here and lie to you telling that society is to blame , Yes society has a hand in it and a big one at that , but that doesn't mean it's the root cause, where I come from women were forbidden from many things, such as traveling without a man or  even leaving the house , I was seven years of age when I began to notice , I was never allowed to have a bike , to go to the park like my brothers were , the only time women are allowed to go out is if they had a men with them or they would get arrested and sent home , women were hidden spoken of as if they are shame itself ,I've always wanted to be a men I want to know what it feels like to have the chance, to have the voice to be heard, to be seen , to not feel shame of myself of who I'm , of my face .

Thanks for sharing. This is powerful.
And cruel and very active reality of our world.
I will never full understand why or what drive a society to incline itself towards such extrem practices and ideologies and even more so, to have millions follow blindly.
In many Countries, cultures and religions women are still the matter of subject as objects. How can this be possible un suchnatime where truth is so available to all, where wisdom should be leading over every other virtue of man.
It's infuriating and emasculating to know that while my sister's or women I know of bask in the freedom and equality that all humans should, there are still many women who live subjugate to the whims of twisted me elsewhere in the world.
