If your reply to my evidence is the comment you posted; then it is trolling based on a false list.
I'll say it again then with the relevant bit in bold so you don't "miss it" again:
"I wasn't trolling, just putting forward a theory that might explain the oppression of women in Islamic states. If anybody's got a more plausible explanation I'd love to hear it."
You might have heard about women in Saudi Arabia not being allowed to drive or leave the country without a male relative's permission, for example.
There are other parts of the world that witness terrible conditions for women to live; too. From the living room of an American alcoholic husband to the depths of Africa where FGM is a native custom.
Why focus on Muslim nomadic regions and forget the rest of the world?
The attacks on women rights in the Middle East are mostly tribal and enforced by dictators to control society and stay in power. For example; driving for women became legal in Saudi Arabia now; it was a mere political card that the regime holds and uses.

The problem doesn't appear to be our eyes so much as your brain.
Here's something to consider, no answered required. What wouldn't you take to be indicative of "design".
Yes it is more correct to say that it is in our brain; if we saw the sun and kept telling ourselves that it's a moon then our eyes are okay.
What I wouldn't consider as a "design"; is something operating in a random fashion, outside of any higher law to govern it.
