For 100 years women was treated as the inferior gender not just in Iraq but all around the Arabian Gulf area due to religious/customary reasons. Iraq was one of the first countries to allow women to drive, it was and will be the most secular middle eastern country. After the American invasion on Iraq women's rights was at decline because of the war, and it's now even better than ever. So they feel pretty much normal I guess, they even sometimes have more freedom than us men here.
It's great to hear a bit of inside news. It's so sad that when war subsides news coverage dus as well. Your post made me realize that.
I really hope the middle east can get the corruption of oil or of it's system and the rigidity of the extreme interpretations of Islam.
Thanks for the perspective, brother.
I wonder why my comment was removed by the mods!?
