Analysis, Critics, & Suggestion
The paper of Oonagh Rietman is delivering very interesting issue. Where he focused on how cultural relativist and feminist critique towards the international human right. While at the same time culture relativist and feminist quite against each other in their point of view about women.

In Christianity, women are seen as helpers to men and are required to be submissive. In Hinduism, a woman plays various roles throughout her life and ultimately she is seen as her husband’s property (UK Essays). In Islam, the woman is not seen as an equal to man even in marriage a man can marry more than one wife but a woman is to be always loyal to her husband (Freedom House). Despite this being the case, some of the contemporary popular female figures are using religion to spread their message of gender equality.

A Muslim woman who would like to identify herself as an Islamist and feminist at the same time meets with many questions and doubts, from outside and from within. The pressure faced by most of the Muslim activists and academics to identify themselves as "Muslim" or "feminist", prevents the spread of moderate thinking among this slice of educated Muslim women. This insistence on polarization has a negative effect on the feminist Muslim women. A woman who defines herself as a feminist Muslim is received as a contradiction in terms and the credibility of her argument becomes questionable. And this in turn gives one message is that one cannot be Islamist and feminist simultaneously because Western feminism condemns Islam and looks at it as a source

It is clear that there are differences between the role of men and women throughout religion that stems from the biological differences between the two sexes. In both essays, the authors acknowledge that to study women in religion, it is necessary to look at gender and how gender influences the roles of women. Scott argues, “The term gender is part of the attempt by contemporary feminists to stake claim to a certain definitional ground, to insist on the inadequacy of existing bodies of theory for explaining persistent inequalities between women and men.” (Gross 1066) Using gender as an analytical lens allows researchers to explain why there are inequalities between the sexes.

As relativist reservations at the international forum that dominantly driven by religious objection which mostly based on Islam and Catholic values, they have also seen human rights as a specific ideology of western imperialism.

It is evident that the Middle East is quite patriarchal and this of course contributes to why women are seen as or believed to be inferior. Furthermore in the Middle East, women’s challenges have been “intensified by the rise of a political Islam that too often condemns women’s empowerment as Western cultural imperialism or, worse, anti-Islamic.” In Paradise Beneath Her Feet, however, Isobel Coleman demonstrates how both Muslim women as well as men are trying to combat the belief that women should be oppressed, an the do so using “progressive interpretations of Islam to support women’s rights in a growing movement of Islamic

Introduction Cultural relativism is the principle that the beliefs and activities of each person must be understood in the culture itself (Bayley, 1992). Feminism is a movement and ideology to fight for equality for women in the political, economic, cultural, private space and public space. Feminism was never an ideology of hatred ( Beasley, 1999). Since cultural relativism and feminism are two different things, many different critiques of cultural relativism and feminism in international human rights occur. Those critiques come from cultural relativists and feminists.

When looking into the topic of gender equality in Islamic countries, one can see a large disparity in the rights accessible to women from the rights given to men, which is a huge subject of controversy. This is largely due to the fact that many believe in regressive cultural practices and interpret the Qur’an and other religious texts in a way that discriminates against women. Because of this, not only do women suffer, but the countries do as a whole. In order to end this barrier of inequality, Muslim countries need to provide equal rights, equal education, and equal income/job opportunities to women. “All (of) these act as fundamental barriers not just to the advancement of women, but to the overall economic development of entire societies,”(Maha
