MODERATORS
I've retracted "baked-in" regarding specifically education, having read more about the history, and I appreciate your comment calling me out. However, it's clear that the current status of women's education in the Muslim world is a direct result of Islam's baked-in complementarian misogyny.
Genuine question: What is the current status of women's education in the Muslim world? Do you have some kind of statistic you're going off here? The only thing that comes to mind is Afghanistan and everyone thinks those guys are nuts.
My understanding is that it's improving but that girls still face serious, disproportionate hurdles. When I remarked about the current poor state, one of the sources I'd read was this conference last year by the Muslim World League (largely funded by Saudi Arabia but understood to be a voice of moderation) who insisted that it's still a major problem worldwide legally and culturally.
