Lustful descriptions of rampant fornication and adultery were examples of a hedonistic society of men taking treating women as sex objects. And this is indicative of the low status women were put in, yes. There is no nobility or dignity in disregarding the sanctity of marriage or engaging in acts that produce illegitimate children.

As long as women were free to treat men as sex objects, it's not an indication of a low status of women.  Is there evidence lustful descriptions were limited to men?

As far as disregarding "the sanctity of marriage", most women will feel bringing women #2, #3 and #4 into the marriage without their consent violates its sanctity as much  - or more - as any lustful descriptions.  "Illegitimate children" is a social construct - a child is whatever society agrees to consider him or her.

The vast majority of the most important scholars disagree with you. So please stop publishing false or misleading information about Islam. [/quote]
Leila Ahmed doesn't - is she not a scholar?

I"ll publish what I see fit, thanks. [/quote]

No where in the Quran does it permit a man to take additional wives against the wishes of his first wife. No where. This is a convenient lie you have made up just to put Islam down. In fact it says in the Quran that if a man can not treat them equally, he SHOULD NOT TAKE ON MORE THAN ONE WIFE. Read Islamic history and you will see under what circumstances the prophet took additional wives. Often it was because women were orphaned or their husbands killed in war with no resource to help care for their children. You are one woefully uneducated about islamic history.[/quote]
