I am curious why Muslims, when it's suggested that they treat women like second class citizens (i.e. 2 women witnesses are equivelant to a man - suggesting women aren't as reliable as me) always act like it's a big deal when telling people, "Yeah, Muslim women have rights. She can own property and have her own money." That doesn't really answer the question.
What rights do Muslim women actually have?
Can she speak her mind? Does she have the right to refuse to have children if she doesn't want them? Can she choose who she marries? Can she decide NOT to get married if she doesn't want to? Can she tell a man what to do (be in charge over a man)? Can she be right over a man without a man feeling so insecure that he has to get angry that she's right and he's wrong? If he smacks her - can she smack him back? Can she openly tell him he's an idiot? Can she choose to get a college education, have a job, or live on her own if she wants to? Can she go where she wants when she wants?
