I don't think "Muslim are way more misogynist now than in the past" is a great reply to "Muslims are very misogynist".

Most Muslim countries allow women to pursue university education, even theocracies as shitty as Iran, so I presumed the left was representative of a conservative trying to appeal to tradition.

Hell, some of them even allow women to drive cars! How amazing!

The Saudis were the only one with that bizarre ban, and it was lifted almost a decade ago.

Man, I'm not saying the Muslim world doesn't currently have a problem with misogyny, I'm just fucking pointing out that it's not the universal Islamic tradition Muslim conservatives claim it is.
