The Bible is the same way. Throughout history men have held the positions of power. And those that have power do not like to share. So thus positions of authority or career stepping stones are given to men well....just because. Most religions are created by men almost for men. The Middle East has long held onto the custom that women are infeior and are the servents to man. Europe had this but grew out and Asia still deminstrates this thought process though not to the degree as the Middle East. As with any belief or custom it is hard to change. Things that are different seem to throw your whole world off and life past that point can't be imagined. Think of the American Civil War for slavery. Look at how it has prospered due to that change. Granted there are still cases of discrimination but it is hard to change everyones hearts. The muslim religion is in an area that has changed very little over a thousand years. It has a violent history were religion seems to divide sides. Where other religions have slowly faded out the masculan true authority image, the Muslim relgion just holds on firmer. I believe it wasn't meant to demean women as much as what someone thought the world should be like.

Quran was written hundreds of years back.
You should know one thing, all religious books were written by males and not by females.
Actually men wanted to dominate females without giving them freedom and respect.
But it has some meaning. Women are very greedy and self-centered, as I have seen and experienced. That may be the reason for snubbing them.
See most of the women who are economically independent are uncontrollable and unreachable and untouchable. When they become economically independent, they care less to you. They become so powerful, you can never control them. They start controlling you. This is not acceptable by men.
This is happening in every religion.
