How Yemenis View Educated Women
yementimes.com/98/iss31/culture.htm
By: Fatima Uqba, Sanaa.

Afaf Al-Haimi, MA degree, Department of Sociology, teacher of Medical Sociology. Married with 4 children. She said:
"Our society views women as inferior whether they are educated or not. An educated woman is a better housewife. Education bestows on women composure and strong personality.
"However, men like very young and uneducated women. From my experience as a wife, mother, student, and teacher, I can feel the stress, but never heard a harsh word from anyone in my family or from my colleagues."

Raja'a Al-Masa'abi, MA Degree in Women's Information, Information Department. Unmarried. She said:
"Men's backward view of educated women is a common one. I consider education for women like a weapon in war. An educated women is generally more considerate towards the need of her husband and children. The main drawback is that she is always nervous because she has more responsibilities - at home and in her career.
"From my experience, men are selfish. They prefer young and uneducated women because they are easier to control and boss around. Personally I'm proud of my education."

Saeed Asa'ad Muteir, BA Degree, English Literature. Unmarried. He said:
"Educated women make perfect housewives and mothers, because they have acquired new abilities. They will raise a good family, and are also helpful to their husbands.
"The main drawback is that an educated wife may think that she is better than others, including her husband. I believe that a woman's place is at home to raise children. Women cannot be equal to men,. There are differences. I prefer educated wife (within those parameters)."

Abdullah Nasser, Shopkeeper. Married, has 6 children. He said: "There is no need for a woman to be educated, her real job is at home with her children. No way would I marry an educated woman, because she would argue with me all the time. There are no gains in educating women. By educating women we make them too proud and overly talkative. An educated woman refuses to do household chores."

Q: Do you see Yemeni women playing a bigger role in public life?
Dr. Salah Haddash, Managing Editor of Yemen Times, talked to him - yementimes.com/98/iss52/intrview.htm
A: We go back to the democratic experience in the West, where large blocks of the population were disenfranchised. In the United States, for example, Americans of African origin did not have the right to vote until very recently. European women got involved in politics recently.
It is wrong to insist a visible role for women in politics. It is wrong to assume that if women are not involved in politics, they are not liberated or that the system is not democratic. They must have the right. If they choose to exercise it or not is their prerogative.
