Do you think Islam is a religion of peace and a religion that treats men and women equally as human beings?

That's not what they mean at all. They mean that, if you want to be treated with equality, then special privileges that were given to the weaker sex cannot apply any longer. Chivalry wasn't given to men, after all - only women.

If women want to break free from that and be treated as equals , then they have to give up chivalry and special treatment that only women received. As a woman, that doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all. You can't demand both.

Especially if you aren't willing to return the favour. I don't think many men these days regard women as sub-human, you know, even if they *do* say "can't have your cake and eat it too". There's nothing sub-human about a woman staying home and looking after her family, you know, and I think you need to ask yourself why you feel that it is.

Equal treatment and special treatment are contradictory to one another. You can't be elevated and equal at the same time. I don't know where the sub-human idea came in, that sounds pretty much like a victim mentality to me.

If you get upset because a man asks you to do something traditionally considered "women's work" like cleaning, ironing, etc. and then turn around and tell him he should do something for you because he's a man, you are nothing but a hypocrite. I don't think most men really care that much about doing "chivalrous" things. It's when we hear the griping about equal treatment and not being sexist so often that we begin to wonder why we're basically expected to bow down to your wishes for equal treatment when you want it but special treatment when you want it, or in other words why women are supposed to decide everything.

I don't have a problem with opening doors for you and things like that, but if you start saying I need to do it because I'm a man then don't start griping when I start asking for dinner on the table when I get off work because you're the woman. Yeah Mira, and being a lady and doing things to make your man happy was being unselfish too, but you sure do attack anything remotely revolving around that aspect. But thank you for proving my point better than I did.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
