Systemic: Personal as Political


MUSLIM WEDDING CAKE

This picture is showing just one side of "Feminism" in cartoons..

This picture immediately caught my eye because you can see a clearly recognizable difference between a man and a woman.

It is set in conjunction with the Islamic faith.

In this religion many women are oppressed and have no rights. The man's position is
always over the womans and he is the one who determines all. Just as you can see this
on the example with the cake. The man stands a few steps above her, which shows that
he has more power than she. She is veiled and stands alone and helpless under him..

But is this the typical image we have from the Islam and the women in Islam?
Of course there are still strong differences in many regions between men and women to recognize. The women there have like I said before no rights and must do what is prescribed for them.

But in many areas this situation has changed: Many Muslim women do not want oppression any more! Many of them get an education and find good work. They become independent and their own boss. Some are financially dependent on their husbands and are afraid not to do it alone. Others are afraid of their man or the pressure of the family. However many Muslim women come out of this pattern ..

The reason why I chose this picture was to show the differences between a man and a woman especially in Islam.
