Women should not travel more than 48 miles without a male escort – Muslim group

But I see a conflict in ideas in what you're saying anyway. On one hand you look like you want to argue that Islam is no more exceptionally misogynist than any other culture and that misogyny exists everywhere, but then you single out regions where you say it's always more misogynist? I'm confused...

No, I'm arguing that it's culture, more than religion. Culture predates religion. We're talking about deeply paternalistic cultures that have been that way before montheism came along. And there's no big difference between certain districts in Jerusalem, where the spitting at girl childs not being moderate enough, the very South of Italy, certainly not the Northern region, Albania, Greece or the Middle East. It's all the same mindset. Older than the religion they use as a vehicle now.

Again, it's the largest part of the world, actually. Not only the usual suspects. We didn't cover Asia or Africa so far.
