Universally? No one can say that, but at large, men have been hostile to women in most cultures including most of the modern non-western societies: China, India, Korea, Japan, Middle East, South & Central America, Russia, etc.
There are exceptions, but to pretend that they are relevant to current public health crisis is a red herring at best.
How is middle-eastern not hostile to women? Can you share this perspective? AFAIK women don't even have the right to show their skin in most of middle-east.
We don't see showing skin as a right, and that applies to both men or women, with respective differences of course. We're a conservative traditional society. We're well aware that our values don't align with the liberal and secular views, and we reject the labels they use on us. Reducing a complex topic to just showing skin or a few points that are always repeated blindly up by the adversary is overly simplistic, and frankly, naive. The picture they try to paint is that our countries are somehow completely oppressing women, making their lives miserable and unhappy, and that they are treated as cattle or something. All that is absolute nonsense.
Showing skin is just an example to illustrate how ridiculous the situation is. The burden is on you to show that your society is just. I think that Islam have the concept of “putting things in the right place” (iirc its adl).
Anyway my point is that I am open to the argument that man and woman have different “place” and thus have different rights. Perhaps this is just and result in more prosperous society? But I think the onus in on you to prove this claim.
Instead, you just lie by asking someone that can’t reveal their opinion what their opinion is. Technically, the punishment for apostasy (and thus a single prayer) is death, well its kinda hard to be honest in this situation isn’t it? Women can’t divorce their husband easily. Homosexuality is forbidden. You have to slaughter an animal with cruelty by slitting their throat. There are better more painless ways to do it but no, you can’t do that because reasons. Modern slaughterhouses aren’t necessarily better but to claim that we can’t make any more progress because the religion mandates that a certain blood vessels need to be cut is ridiculous. So many ridiculous things that you can’t let go of and can’t make progress in because a certain someone in the middle ages said so. They didn’t consider how fasting would work in the north pole did they?
I don’t have to respect your religion and i am free to ridicule the ridiculous. Religious people are in the same category as flat earthers and nut jobs as far as i am concerned.
The burden isn't on us, you're the one making the weird and incorrect claims about our society.
It has also been shown that in secular liberal societies that instituted and implemented egalitarian policies, both genders separated instead of converged, so there you go.
And I didn't lie, not sure what prompted that accusation. I'm not going to explain all the faults, fallacies, and false claims in your post on this site (all of which are trivial to address), it's not the avenue for it. Your last paragraph comes off as very defensive as well. If you're interested, feel free to reach out to me in my email, it's in my profile.
