Women Problems
What other problems out there are unique to us women? Do some cultures still treat women as the weaker sex? Are there any places where women are superior to men?
The men who love women (that's supposed to be all men) may answer too.

As the poster before me said perhaps the most horrifying practice of controlling women is by genital mutilation. There are still places in the world where women are refused an education solely beause they don't carry the X chromosome.
You might want to research "Minangkabau", "Bribri" and "Mosou" on the subject of cultures where women are "superior" to men.

No problem at all Minangkabau and Mosou are asian groups and Bribri is from Costa Rica I'm sure there are other matrilineal societies across the globe though. I'll do some additional research and let you know. There were two others but I didn't look into them much.Miriam Molina wrote:Hi, Eelavahs-jay! Thanks for the info.

Fortunately, times are changing and the image of women is different nowadays. However, in some places this change is rather slow. I like books like this one where you can embrace women empowerment because these books help one way or another to the new era where women are treated fairly.
