Because those countries are ruled by men who fear women and keep the subservient with the threat of death.
Look what women went through in this country just to vote and we don't have the death penalty for disagreeing with men.

Hold up!
1) Judeo-Christian civilization at no point elevated the status of women. If this was the case, the US, as a mostly christian nation, would have seen equal rights for women long ago. Secularization and the recognition of individual rights, supported by a political party exploiting this need for their own growth, is what has made the difference, in spite of regressive ideals that religion is historically famous for.
2) If you're going to provide statistics, it would be nice if you cited the references used. A little annotation in the video is almost no work. Also applies when you claim western women are subject to harassment by immigrants. I'm not here claiming that you're incorrect or lying, but you should clearly reference these claims if you expect them to be taken seriously.
3)Women should stand up for each other. A curtailment of the rights of any individual harms us all, men and women. I've also noticed a disregard in western 'street feminists' protests for the problems faced abroad. They're concerned, sure, just like they're concerned about men's rights issues. But their actions speak differently. A practical reasonable feminist will do just what this woman in the video did: state the obvious about how women have it way better in the west, and efforts focused on fighting some nonexistent patriarchy would be better spent on fighting real patriarchies in the middle east.
