Women rights in Islam

[Natachan]

Do please tell me how I am not equal to a man? I do the same job men do, in a very male dominated industry (and I do it very well, I might add). I was raised by two women, no father around, as an adult I don't live with a man. So clearly, whatever a man is "supposed to" do around the home is stuff we women are perfectly capable of doing.

Look into any statistics, you will see that some jobs are done better by men, some other jobs are done better by women

The lugging shit around jobs, perhaps. Otherwise there's no appreciable difference. In fact, women perform better, and markedly so, on reading and writing though school. The only area they are weaker than makes is in math and science, and the overall performance is not as significant as the difference between girls and boys in other subjects. Women are also on average more educated than men. So your "better at certain jobs" claim only really applies to those lugging stuff around jobs. And I'll grant you that.

So what, in your opinion, makes women so inferior to men

She is not inferior, just different

That's the claim all those who subjugate women start with. While we are sexually dimorphism be very careful how you proceed with this.

that we should be covered up like our very existance is shameful, and treated as a commodity to be traded between men? Women are people, not livestock.

Covering her up is preventing using it as commodity in ads, magazines, etc. (think)

Which is why countries where women are covered have lower rates of rape and abuse. Oh wait...

Sure there are differences between men and women; women are better at some things, men are better than others. And there's the obvious physical differences in genitals, average height, etc. But nothing that makes us unequal.

As god gave every person different bounties, not one is equal to the other, not only men vs woman, it is rich vs poor, smart vs dump, strong vs weak, young vs old, etc.

God treat people with justice not equality

Men and women are equal in most respects. We are a sexually dimorphism species but in most cases the differences are negligible. Women are not possessions, they are people. They should be treated as equal to any male.
