    I don’t think “Muslim are way more misogynist now than in the past” is a great reply to “Muslims are very misogynist”.

      Most Muslim countries allow women to pursue university education, even theocracies as shitty as Iran, so I presumed the left was representative of a conservative trying to appeal to tradition.

          The Saudis were the only one with that bizarre ban, and it was lifted almost a decade ago.

          Man, I’m not saying the Muslim world doesn’t currently have a problem with misogyny, I’m just fucking pointing out that it’s not the universal Islamic tradition Muslim conservatives claim it is.
