Armenian men about women's rights.
 
Which women's right is mostly violated in Armenia?
-Violence against women is the most unacceptable.
-Formed image of woman is that
she has to be humble meaning that she doesn't have the right
to speak about a lot of things as it's a shame.
-After some certain stages in senior positions gender disbalance starts to the detriment of women.
It turns out men are strong and women are weak,
and If there's this classification
then the strong one sometimes decides for the weak thinking that
it's the only right way.
Women's place is in the kitchen.
Man make the decisions and earns money.
And the one who has the money orders the music.
The woman in all the luxury has the role of a doll in the family
but without any rights and own goals in life.
Mostly girls are victims of gender based abortions because man wants to leave his inheritance to his son.
And woman's right to life is violated from the begining because she's never born.
-When the woman is a whore it's a disaster, but for man it's easily accepted by the society.
Why women's rights are violated?
-Women let their rights to be violated.
Woman puts up with the created situation.
Woman doesn't look for solutions.
Woman perceives herself as weak and she has to adapt to the conditions
because maybe her mother told her to do so.
-I was more inclined to believe that men are to blame because in our patriarchal society men write the rules.
-I think Soviet Union is to blame because these morals are left in Armenia from that period.
-Society is the biggest obstacle for woman to get out of created borders,
to cry about her violated rights and her unfulfilled life.
-Patriarchy was before but now it's changing. Now my mom's voice is also heard and her opinion is taken into account.
Mane- Why is it so?
Gevorg- I think it's because we don't live with my grandparents anymore.
Who has to solve this problem?
-If everyone decides for themselves what kind of family they want society can live with that.
-State has to solve the problem.
-I think women have to stand up for their rights and involve men in the struggle afterwards.
-I think the affected party has to start the struggle because for men it's already fine.
Women, you have to think to correct the situation.
I'm sure a lot of men will help you and
man has to be a Feminist in the first place so that everything will be fine.
