That's your argument? You have to be kidding me.

Squiggle, how do you feel about gender equality?

OP, please answer this question.

what is gender equality?

do men in America have equal rights as women to mother a child?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

how many of you married men could handle more than one wife were legal?

I view women as people, unlike islam which gives them less rights than a car.

Don't you think women get a say in this too?

Typical abrahamic chauvinism, always thinking with their dicks and shooting prematurely.

You don't understand what gender equality is?

And I think I can cut you off at the pass here. You're going to say that, since men cannot biologically "mother" a child, that we are fundamentally different than women, and with these fundamental differences come different expectations and roles given by god. Fulfilling these roles is what, in your mind, you consider "equality".

No, that isn't equality. It's arbitrary bronze-age chauvinitst bullshtitery.

If they could get pregnant, sure. But what do reproductive functions have to do with equal rights?

Gender Equality

I once carried a woman on my back against her will for one mile! Now she is my wife!

I could not carry two womans as my manly frame is too puny. Unless they were both 100lb-ers. Even then, maybe only a half mile. Not good enough to make wife and sexy time.

in custody battles or in criminal justice cases are rights equal between men and women?

ending discrimination against gender will never be possible in any country therefor gender equality is impossible to establish.

[Mister Agenda]

For example in the quran it mentions separation of the earth and heavens (universe) and expansion of the heavens (universe).

The quran predicts the big bang theory.

Then why was it not a Muslim who devised the theory? The answer is that it was not actually a prediction. For one thing, prior to Hubble, the English translations of that sura were:

"...With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of space.... " (Surah 51:47). Yusufali

"...We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).... " (Surah 51:47). Pickthal

"...And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.... " (Surah 51:47). Shakir

AFTER Hubble proved the universe is expanding, we got translations like this:

Shabbir Ahmed:
"And it is We Who have built the Universe, and behold, We are steadily expanding it."

Dr. Munir Munshey:
"With Our power and prowess, We brought into being the universe. And indeed, We expand it (steadily)!"

Progressive Muslims:
"And We constructed the universe using matter, and We will expand it."

Muhammad Asad:
"And it is We who have built the universe with [Our creative] power; and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."

Arberry:
"And heaven -- We built it with might, and We extend it wide."

Not entirely, but that's why we're striving to make it better.

Proof?

therefor gender equality is impossible to establish.

Just because something is difficult doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it you ignorant assbucket. Looking at history in the west, gender and racial equality has been progressing positively (overall) for as long as we've been able to measure it. I know claiming that the genders will never be equal is a convenient security blanket for your bronze-age-like barbaric inaccurate and horrifying beliefs, but it's not going to help you when you're talking with people who actually value evidence and philosophy and debate.

are there any other people in the 7th century that were moved and inspired to preach that the universe is always expanding?

Are you just going to ignore my question about your claim that women are better treated under Saudi Islamic law than otherwise?
