I've traveled quite a bit, and so know first-hand the difference between visiting a country where women are confidently walking around the streets and parks marketplaces and public spaces, and those where they are almost invisible and barely tolerated there, scurrying hidden in veils.

Those where women are employed in jobs dealing with the public, chatting with customers, and those where they are hidden deep inside the houses and shops.

I know which kind of society I want to live in.
