Yeah, its painful to watch how Islam treats women, and especially that its so widely accepted because its religious belief.
There was this discussion, must find it, that was talking about how badly educated women in Islam are often the most extremist believers of Islam and are showing similar traits to Stockholm Syndrome, being that there is a fair bit of ill treatment from birth to marriage to women. Clitoral circumcision, arranged marriages, lack of access to education, spousal abuse, not seen equal in the eyes of Sharia law, etc..
