[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you part of a religion (or insert organization) where women are second to men? Do you believe that men are superior or in charge of women? If so, why?[/quote]

Not OP but Another Muslim poster: I don't believe that Islam considers women to be second to men. If I have been treated inferior to men it is because of cultural ignorance brought about by non-islamic cultures. . I don't think men are superior to women nor are they in charge of me. My father is not in charge of me, my husband is not, neither are my brothers or my sons. I am me an independent person.

However I believe in nature vs. nurture and I don't believe that men and women are equal as in they can do anything the other person can. My thought is that yes we can try to do things the opposite sex can and some people will achieve mastery in that area (for example let's say combat) however  I think that nature trumps nurture and so in that way men and women are not equal. That however is a personal belief and not based on religion in any way. [/quote]
