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.

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".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

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.

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.

-and there you have it.  Not only are there such things, your entire notion of "design" is anything not random.

Brain problem. Yours.
