It's the same mooing that Christians and Jews make. They see the sexes as "equal" because both have roles to fill, which invariably are women being subservient to men. They see conforming to roles as "equality".
Do Christians and Jews believe the wife must obey the husband?

There are some Muslim scholars on youtube debating how you should "discipline" your wife that would disagree with you

Some of them do, yes. Some of them are very insistent that a woman must submit to her husband and that her place is in the home.

I especially like being called "uncovered meat." It's very uplifting.

Christians do. I'm not well educated on Judaism so I won't comment.

Hah, good one. Of course they do. The father also owns the body of the daughter.

Pretty much.
But that's what you get when men create religion.

I mean, much of the foundation of Islam appears to be that a man must submit to a woman. That's textbook sexism.
Well shit, somebody ought to tell them they're doing it wrong.
