But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

Not all Muslim men are misogynistic. I suspect that very few Canadian Muslim men are. But it's hardly surprising, given the above and other examples, that societies that interpret the Qur'an and certain Hadiths strictly and attempt to enforce them lead to bad results for the women in those societies.
