The point is not "Misogyny is Muslim countries now is okay, because Muslim women were once involved in higher education", the point is "The appeal of some Islamic misogynists to a tradition of educational misogyny is extremely dubious even from a very early point in Muslim history."

The appeal of Muslims to literally anything in the Quran is extremely dubious.

You don’t need to be Muslim to have a moral framework.

I mean that the appeal does not hold up even inside the philosophical framework of a 'traditional' Islamic society. Especially as the Quran does not forbid women's education.
