Hi Mo3. I started up the thread you mentioned so that I could start typing the things I want to ask you about the misconceptions in regards to a woman's role in islamic society and religion. Of course, as you know, there are many stereotypes people think of regarding this issue. Here are some of the stereotypes that I have been told.
1. Women are expected to be subservient to their husbands.
2. Women are expected to be modest with their bodies because the men can't control their own body's sex drive.
3. Women can not have sexual freedom, and they must not have sex with anyone other than her husband.
4. There are many social restrictions on women regarding their financial autonomy, their unescorted/unapproved travel, etc.
5. The koran recommends that a man beat his wife.
That's what is on my mind for starters. I look forward to reading your response.
