true, but men do have many more rights that women don't have. The fact that every citizen is supressed to some degree isn't the issue here (although it is a big issue), it's the fact that women are denied a whole long list of things that makes it an issue. Cultural differences aside, women should have equal rights as men, and the bottom line is that this is far from happening in a lot of countries in the middle east, and in many other countries too.
