-Are you talking about women in Saudia Arabia or women in Arab countries. Syria,Lebanon,Morocco,Tunisia,Kuwait and Egypt should be mentioned in the article.It is unfair to give one side and ignore the other-- Aziz1005 16:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Also we should mention some notable contemporary Arab women like Naziha Al-Dulaymi (the first Arab woman to be a Minster ,Iraq,1958); Nazik Almalaaeka نازك الملائكة Hanan Alshiekh حنان الشيخ (contemporary poets and writers); Umm Kulthum, Nancy Ajram, Elissa, Farida , Latifa (singers) ..It is actually endless list.the thing that hinders me is that I dont have enough time to write -- Aziz1005 23:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Zoroastarianism is a religion which had virtually no adherence with any Arabs - even the Sabaetians who were under Persian Influence briefly. It is a non-Semetic religion originating in the North of the Iranian Plateau, and it would be much more likely that they either followed traditional Arabian/Semetic (Pagan) religions of those of their Semetic cousins in Judea, Israel, The Levant and Mesopotamia. I taken out that unsourced section (most likely written by the numerous Persian Nationalist scum marauding here). Provide proof of significant Zoroastarian adherence amongst those Arabs or keep it at what's widely known and accepted (adherence to Christianity, Judaism and Traditional Semetic beliefs.

From the article, Women were not accorded with such legal status in other cultures, including the West, until centuries later. Thats utterly nonsense, depending on what culture one talks in specific, there was a wide range from absolute no status and rights to de facto equality (Etruscans, Spartan or Atheniean women, women of old Egypt, Celtic and German tribes, Jewish and different Arabic tribes, etc.). Great parts of this article only reflect the traditional Islamic point of view.-- 178.115.8.207 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:09, 8 April 2011 (UTC).
FYI, I removed {{ Women in society}} as the thrust of the navbox is sociological where this article appears to be more geographically / anthopologically oriented. Claret Ash 11:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
You should directly state at the onset that your POV is Feminist. This will alert the reader to your bias. van Lustig ( talk) 09:48, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
This article is completely biased. You can see the personal opinion of the author plastered in almost each line. Hoping someone will actually correct this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.199.143.202 ( talk) 14:08, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Women in Arab societies → Women in the Arab world – Too vague. Per WP:CONSISTENCY with Arab world. Secondary option Women in Arab culture per Arab culture. Chicbyaccident ( talk) 10:19, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I just flagged multiple issues, inadequate lead and the lack of citations. Even though I see that this article was at least partly written as part of an educational project, sentences like "Although the Arab mentality has changed a lot the last few years,..." and many of the other statements are examples of POV and ethnocentric, biased views on this subject. - Even though it refers to many historical and geographically diverse societies, this article needs many more balanced and diverse descriptions. - I will try to work on this in the coming weeks, but anybody else who shares my criticism, is certainly welcome to join in.
