Alexa,
Qatari women, and I am generalising now, go to and support segregated schooling and work environment. There are alot of Qatari women, who go to mixed systems just because they have to. It does not mean though those women support desegregation.
Today morning, many girls called a radio program presenter, complaining about Qatar University (QU) policy of announcing desegregated system. It was in fact a misunderstanding, either by the presenter or girls who were listening to the program, of the reported news. the program presenter had to correct his mistake saying to the girls on air: Please note that you misunderstood, the QU manager, cousing of shiekha Mouza who is a woman, stressed that QU will remain a segregated schooling system stating clearly that we maintain Qatari values".
Complains from Qatari women show you they support segregation at thier will. Segregation is a preventive measure if you like. Men are also segregated and it is not an opression to us.
Please note there are areas in our community which is segregated, where women can go to our section but we may not go to thier section. is not this an advantage to them? indeed, but we are fine with this. We prioritize women, that is why she is allowed to do what we may not do. examples are, hospitals, shopping centres, segregated working environments. In those places, women can go to men section, but men will be blocked to get into women section.
You have a point PM in saying why women need a consent to travel while men do not. as i said earlier, women too can do what we may not be able to do in other situations. This is a religious legislation I believe. I will get back to you on this with more information.
It should not be viewed that she needs to sacrifize to meet the requirement of religion. As an example, myself, a muslim male, cannot by stocks of voda fone which is profitable without a doubt, because it is proven to be no Islamic law compliant. in both cases, this should not be done because it is not allowed based on religion guidelines which have logic. (Please note that there are muslims who don't follow what Islam asks for- but this is a different issue)
PM..

All, let me ask you this:
Are there differences between men and women?
