In a wider context though the difference in equality is insane. Women own just 1% of the worlds wealth. It makes sense too, the corporate world for example is a mans world. In a wider context what status do women have in Africa, Middle East, Asia? Exactly. The bigger picture is distasteful and to put it down to purely cultural practice is both dismissive and unhelpful to addressing the problem.
