Women in Sikh religion

The women in Sikh religion are considered total equal to man. Their are no different treatment at all. Then why do we behave like Hindus, I women should protect her self she is not a sheep that needs protection from men. Guru Gobind Singh Je has given her the full right to fight for her rights and protect her self. Its is not like we are Hindu and need to follow their way as it show en in the article below about the condition of women in Hinduism.

The status of women in Hinduism

Is this is the kind of society we want live in as Sikhs where are sister and ,mother and daughter have no rights. There are many stupid so called Sikh organization which claim that they want to protect Sikh women because they are week and we mans need to protect them. This need to change if we want our girls to become Sikh and be a part of panth.
