Woman rights

Women in my country Egypt -which is kind of better than most of Arabic countries- are a public owned THING for men, we –the men- have all rights to decide for them what they wear and how they act, if they can work or not and that right isn’t only for father and brother and husband NOOO it is a right for anyone to comment and analyze a woman behavior from her dress or the way she talks.
From few years ago the wave of “woman rights” become strong in Egypt but I can tell without any real effect than a noise in media and some wannabe women jumped over the wave to show up in media.
I never felt good with that expression “woman rights” for simple reason, who women ask to take her rights from? I think the answer will jump in head is MEN, the argue is who give that right to men from first place to decide what to give to women?
For me that makes it worse for women not just in middle east but everywhere because that means women accept the fact their rights in men hands to give or to keep, I understand children rights and animal rights because both can’t get their decisions by themselves but women! That is discrimination in itself.
Another question must come up here, what “woman rights” they looking for?
The sad thing they just look for justice, right in education and fair treatment in jobs and law and all life aspects ,is that much? Are those right should be given or not depend on sex? Just being woman is enough reason to be without rights, the normal human rights, the basic ones.
I agree some women become so far in that and try at any expenses to prove woman is better than man, but is that prove anything? It shouldn't’t be that way because that meaning is a way to say the better deserves more!
Usually what I experience in my life loser men think men better than women and also loser women think the same way!
The man who think he is better because of his sex, don’t surprise when he believe the same because his religion, age, look, nationality and whatever else
At the end keeps in mind
“The man, who thinks by his sex organs, can’t think hard all the time”…

Minority is a choice

Couple weeks ago at the day of (eid al fitr) I went to eat at Lebanese restaurant has a little patio outside and that exactly what I needed at that sunny day after whole month from not eating at daytime.
Once I arrived there the Lebanese owner came to greet me for the (eid) and offered my nice table outside and as usual after I done with food he came back to have conversation with me.
I must mention here mike is the first Arabic speaker arrive in area here from 32 years ago and I met him after I move here by few month while I was searching for any restaurant serve middle east food here.
At some point in our conversation he asked me if I miss home I answered him I miss some people and family and sure if anyone spent some time in any place will remember and miss it somehow but not that I’m dying from miss home, he also asked me why I don’t have lunch at mosque as the mosque has lunch for (eid) I answered him that because I don’t like to feel MINORTIE !!!
That take our conversation for new point that he told me he never felt as stranger here but he thought that because his life style is life style for most of people here but for Muslim as me and as ALL Muslims he know I must feel stranger , again I said no I don’t feel stranger because I’m not!!
I explain for him my point of view that it’s not because I’m little different that mean I must be stranger because everyone is unique when you come close to people but the reason people feel minorities and stranger only if they are FAKE AND DOUBLE FACES.
I told him that because its easier for immigrants –immigrants to be honest about some points ALWAYS when someone feel stranger and minority that person ALWAYS (I repeat) talk with hate about AMERICANS, so that is the deal that person feel stranger and blame AMERICANS( Hispanic and Arabs definition to Americans is WHITE only !!!!) they don’t come close to them and here I can give that extreme example for couple Hispanic people believe that AMERICANS must learn Spanish and speak Spanish to Hispanic because English is hard!!
With Arab Muslims its kind of different a little and as example for how double faces some of them are, they don’t have any problem to work and have friendships with AMERICANS and in mosque they pray and ask god to PUNISH Americans and take their money and houses and everything and give it to them (the Muslims) *
I argued that when I drive and there are 50 car follow the law and one doesn’t then I belong to the 50 so I’m not minority, when 90% pay tax and I’m one of them I’m not minority, when I try to be good person and stay away of trouble as most of people that I’m MAJORTY .
* That is part of pray at Friday prayer the imam say
