Fanatic bias in the adoption of negative presuppositions towards women as a group, and about the social roles and personality traits that they are supposed to have. Manifestations in Arab societies include, for example, disparaging the capacity of women mental and moral abilities, which we find in common proverbs. These features of sexism tend to justify women's disadvantaged status and socio-economic position in the social ladder, and in other aspects. They justify, in particular, discriminatory laws regulating family and public life.
