Until recently, women in Azerbaijan were not permitted to work in as many as 674 jobs, across many sectors of the economy – from transport to energy to agriculture.
Nowadays, we often come across the term gender equality. Gender equality has always been one of the main concerns of the EU. Over the past decades, this issue has become of great importance, and new approaches have been and continue to be elaborated.
The notion of freedom is changing, as are many other things in our lives. Afghan and Iranian women's freedom has become a piece of shagreen, shrinking by the day and potentially turning before our eyes into a ridiculous scrap of faded parchment holding the dusty dogmas of religious radicals.
Happening, a screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by last year’s Nobel Laureate French writer Annie Ernaux, the 2021 winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival, is a physiological film that is all naked naturalism and flesh.
In this article we attempt to look at the topic from the perspective of author and masses, or author and audience, taking the philosophical approach of the French sociologist and philosopher Jean Baudrillard to the "process of desire" (of something, someone).
Julia Ducournau's Titane, the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year, is another victory of shameless feminism over the art of cinema. Titane is not a piece of film art, but another opportunistic product that serves the interests of modern Western liberalism.

Every history book says that women were granted suffrage in Azerbaijan as early as 1918. Curiously, the first election law was adopted on July 21, 1919, in the period of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.
It seems to me that when it comes to sex, couples should think about themselves first, it's not right to have sex just to make a baby. "Couples who have good sex by giving each other pleasure don't experience it as just a penis-vagina union. Otherwise, as a result of physiological changes in one or both partners in later life, there may be a shift to another partner, which creates serious problems for the family."
The most common argument against the idea of gender equality is this: If men and women are intellectually equal, then why are there so few women in science compared to men?
