Differences in Gender

when I think about the differences in males and females, the first thing that comes to mind is how women, despite the progress of woman's rights movements in the 20th century, are still not truly equal. Women worldwide are still oppressed in some way. Weather it is how some members of our society view women as objects of sexual value or the harsh social conditions women in many of the countries in the Middle East endure, women are still not equal. I think that Campbell and Kean do a good job in explaining gender and development of the sexes, especially women. What are the current issues for woman's rights and what is being done to address these issues?
