[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Islam granted huge rights to women when first introduced. Serious leaps forward at the time. But they've stagnated.[/quote]

I agree with this. At the time, Islam was (relatively speaking) quite forward thinking when it came to women - it absolutely did not put women on par with men, but it outlined specific rights for women that they did not have, or were entitled to at the time. Islam didn't equalize things for women - but it did make things better.

In my own opinion, the stagnation is the same across the board for any religion. People will try and do exegetical analysis, or look for loopholes in religious texts (whatever text that may be) to indicate that they're "living" religions - but the verses are the verses. They're set. Even with translation and trying to understand the evolutionary changes of words, every religion is extremely misogynistic by today's standards. They're all stagnant. For some reason, god is pretty silent when it comes to clarifying or updating us - can't say I'm surprised. [/quote]
