Many people on here say muslim women are oppressed and the men can do what they want when they want. Well, I just posted a question where it shows that this is not the case, and most of the answers I received were completely ignoring the the second part where I state I am showing what men in Islam must do. Why is it that some of you cry about women's right and how you claim that women are so oppressed, then ignore it temporarily and act like you don't know anything when a question about the men's duties arises? I think it's a double standard.

I see the double standard.
We ask questions and if we dislike the answers we ignore the information we've been given.
Within your religion, there is an agreed upon obligation by both the man and the woman. You see your arrangement as normal and acceptable. People who are not accustomed to your faith, may assume that there is a rigid set of expectations on both the man and the woman.
It could be considered oppression, but is it the man or woman in the relationship that is oppressed?
Good Question!

Husband is the leader of the family, that so our children carry their surname. I do not deny some of the asnwerer here wants or thought woman and man are on equal par but that is for man and woman not husband and wife. I guest some of the answerers here are confused about these 2 relationship - man and woman versus husband and wife.
Woman can demand equal right to man but a wife to a husband...is totally different.
In context to the above all religions said that husband is the provider of the family and woman has all the right to stay at home and be a stay home mom to take care of the kids and maintained the household.
Wife can make choices to work or stay home but husband, it's their sole duty to be the provider of the family.

I just read your post. I don't know what country you come from, but to me living in the U.S. this sounds like a list of thing that a slave owner might be required to do. It sounds very oppressive to me. Yes it shows the things that a husband must do, but the implication is that if there has to be such a law it is because many women were not even give these few things that even the dogs get. You get 2 outfits to wear? And he has to provide the food for you to cook? You do not understand why we read this and think that you are very, very oppressed. You are. You are so oppressed that you do not see it. In the U.S. men and women are equal. One does not tell the other what to do. They respect each other the same way that 2 men do in your country. Perhaps if you can, look on the Internet for information about the women's movement in the U.S. in the late 1960's, early 1970's. You will learn a lot.

its absolutely double standard........sum ppl jus wanna hear wat they wanna hear. they jus wanna see women equal in the manner defined by the western feminists.
A good Muslim woman, for her part, should always be trustworthy and kind. She should strive to be cheerful and encouraging towards her husband and family, and keep their home free from anything harmful (haraam covers all aspects of harm, including bad behaviour, abuse and forbidden foods).
Regardless of her skills or intelligence, she is expected to accept her man as the head of her household - she must, therefore, take care to marry a man she can respect, and whose wishes she can carry out with a clear conscience. However, when a man expects his wife to do anything contrary to the will of God - in other words, any nasty, selfish, dishonest or cruel action - she has the right to refuse him.
Her husband is not her master; a Muslim woman has only one Master, and that is God. If her husband does not represent God's will in the home, the marriage contract is broken.

I think it's the point that your religion - like other religions - asks you to do anything. I'm an atheist and enjoy the company of men and women outside my family circle. Why shouldn't I?
But then I can trust myself not to be tempted I suppose.

It's one thing to tell people what they should do, but can you MAKE them do what they should?
It takes overcoming the inherent selfish nature to do what one should, isn't it?
