My wife and I consult each other on everything. Hairstyles, money etc.. Why would she get a haircut I wouldn't like. I wouldn't be upset if she did but I wouldn't be happy, just like I wouldn't get a hairstyle she wouldn't like, what's the point.

Did you read the poll that Cliff posted. 45% of Christians surveryed agreed that Women should Obey their husbands.
I think the difference is that the US has maintained a secular government for the most part. So it would be fair to compare Muslims in secular countries to Christians in secular countries and compare the level of misogyny.
To those Muslims who live under authoritarian regimes its absolutely a false equivalency. But to compare the Southern US evangelicals, some Mennonite and hudderite communities, JW and other Christian sects to Muslim sects living under secular governments will probably make Christianity look quite poor or certainly not enlightened as some people suggest.
