I just took a sexism test at UnderstandingPrejudice.org (I scored quite well, thank you), and you can compare your scores to other countries (based on 15,000 responses, so they're not claiming it accurately reflects the whole country). One of those countries is Syria, and according to the responses, the men and women of Syria are very high in both forms of sexism this test covers, hostile sexism and ambivalent sexism. Follow the link for more info, and click on the "Ambivalent Sexism" link. In short, they tend to be hostile towards women's rights, and will usually blame the woman if she's raped or assaulted. This is probably not a very woman-friendly country.
