Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's called exclusionary sexism. And men not being able to avoid sinful lust is just an excuse. The true purpose is to limit women's social circles to male family members and other women. Isolate them in order to control them.

In part, probably (like I said, there's at least a tinge of misogyny in contemporary "Muslim culture"), but not in essence. The "sexism" goes both ways, and at least ideologically one way, since it's the men that are seen as the disruptors of the peace, and the women as the object of temptation (inherently so obviously innocently as well).

You see the same thing with most Male dominated institutions. Religions are some of the last holdouts excluding women from holding positions of power. Its easier to control people, when the one half controls the other half for you in the name of "culture".

It's not just muslims, you see it in Christian nationalism, pro-life movements, Mormonism etc. Women always have their "role to play", while the men have no such restrictions.

Don't forget Judisim! The Orthodox are extremely sexist.

It's a very long list... And I was done on the toilet.
