women are equal to men, then why do they not have equal freedoms in your culture? Why can Qatari/Arab men go into the hotels and bars, but not the Qatari/Arab women? I am not advocating that that is where they should be, but if you're going to allow the men to do something, then why not the women too if they're all equal like you say they are?
And as much as you might think we do, all western women (or all non-Muslim/non-Arab women) don't go running through the street naked. This is actually illegal in most of our cultures. Surprise!
Why you think we're all whores who are just looking for a pole to dance around is beyond me. My mother and grandmother and I are all college educated women -- graduate degrees even! We live our lives morally. But we are free to choose how to live our lives, how to raise our families, where to go to school, where to work, etc. We don't have men telling us what we can and can't do.
I stopped asking a man for permission a long, long time ago -- about the time when I grew up, went to college, and moved out of my father's house. I don't think any adult woman needs any man's permission to make thoughtful choices about her life or her future. She may want a man's input, but that is different than his permission.
