It didn't solve the problem, nor did it promote equality. Of course men and women can do different things, and they are physically different, but placing restrictions on things a person can do because of gender is called bias. Khadija, one of Muhammad's wives, was responsible for spreading the word of the religion around and was praised highly for it. However, how many husbands was she allowed to have? A hell of a lot less than her husband.Exactly. Mo never did answer my questions about how many husbands islam would allow me to have, even when I explained that I could support more than one, and that I would treat them nicely. He also never answered my questions regarding whether I, as the wife, should beat them with a toothbrush-sized stick for being lewd or looking at a woman who is not me. Oh well, I guess he didn't really want to convert me. Seriously though, I don't understand how any free person can give it up and take on such a repressive and ridiculous 'moral' system by choice, especially the women.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
