Women's Roles in Societies

Why do Muslim men think that they can tell women what God wants them to do, when they are not God? Women’s roles in some Muslim societies are limited. They are forced to cover themselves completely with out having a choice. They get tortured and killed for all of the wrong reasons. The men on the other hand are allowed to do as they please and are the reason for this problem. In the novels Reading Lolita in Tehran, Dreams of trespass, A thousand Splendid Suns and Midaq Alley all focus on Muslim women. All of these novels bring us to these women’s lives and allow us to see the treatment they go through in their societies. Why do you think these women keep continuing to allow these men to oppress them? Why don’t they just find the power as a whole to stop everything and make their lives better?
