[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am on a full blown campaign to convince DH to leave this country and move to Dubai purely for safety reasons. At least I don’t have to be afraid to go see a movie when I’m there. [/quote]

Are you Emirati?  If not then yes you do have to constantly worry about security.[/quote]

You obviously don't know that much about the UAE.  While the UAE is very good for gender equality compared to other third world nations, compared to first world nations, the UAE is not very good at gender equality.  Only about 20% of women in the UAE actually work and it is still common for women to be discouraged from working.  Women are treated unequally in the work place, do not get paid on the same scale as men and are not accorded equal respect in the workplace.  If you think that the current SCOTUS is turning US women into second class citizens, the you really don't want to go to the UAE because even after SCOTUS is done shredding gender equality in the US, we will still be far ahead of where the UAE is.

UAE law also treats women unequally.  Do you realize that if someone protests a married woman working, that a judge can bar a married woman from working outside the house?  Do you understand that it's only been 5 years since UAE law removed clauses that allowed husbands to beat their wives in the house?  Do you realized that it's only been 3 years since the law removed the requirement for women to be courteously obedient to their husbands?  There are still many laws on the books that say that you must have a male, either your husband or a male family member agree to allow you to do certain things under the law.  If you want personal autonomy, you don't want to go to the Arab world because you won't have it.

You are very naive if you think that as a woman, you will be safer in the Arab world than you are in the United States.[/quote]
