I am not sure women have true equality anywhere in the world. But then again I have not lived everywhere. I would say though, satisfaction and enjoyment of life is more important than some abstract academic or legal measure of equality. I repeat, I know of several ME women who feel life is easier for women back home than in America. Granted, all of them were from the more liberal countries of ME and North Africa, so a Saudi woman may have a different opinion. Then again she may not. I've also been to Kuwait. Kuwait is another country in which, at least on paper, women have very few rights. Just the same, most women seemed to be happy. This was in no small parts because Kuwaitis, in general, don't do much; they have workers from elsewhere to do everything for them. This means that the women get to spend their husband's money on jewelry and expensive (though I must say ugly) cloths, and socialize in various women "circles" while the foreign maids tend to every aspect of their home life. I wouldn't find such a life satisfying, but I can think of much worse.
