Men ...and their crap.. pfft

So my friend is married to this man, who seems to be good and kind to her... BUT, the thing is, he doesn't give her much freedom. She couldn't go to her sister birthday because it was held at a cafe and her sister's male friends were attending.. She is not allowed to travel alone... She was not allowed to have a male trainer for her horse riding lessons.. and Idk what else she is not allowed to do or have.. I do not know if this makes him a bad man... I mean, when I said he is good or kind, I meant that he treats her nicely, is not violent or aggressive, and is understanding, BUT he still restricts her..

This is what I always thought about Arab men.. They are not all bad as such.. Many of them are responsible and kind on many levels.. but when it comes to the personal freedom of a woman, it is just taken for granted that it is under their discretion, and to me, there is something terribly wrong with that.. But to them and to many women, it is normal! He is not doing anything wrong. It is why I never wanted to get married.. I am sure not ALL of them are as such, but I can say probably the majority is.
