Women in the western societies have it much worse than women in the east in many ways. In the east, women dress modestly and feel compelled to do no more than men when it comes to maintaining a clean appearance. In the west, in contrast, women are conditioned by media and unrelenting societal pressure to showcase their bodies (especially their sexual components), spend hours painting their faces before going out in public, mutilate their bodies through plastic surgery and suffer through inhumane diets to maintain a certain look.
