into Persian Farsi, I noticed how before Islam and at the outset of Islam, women had a significant and prominent role in society and were always among the worshipped as a goddess-consort of a male god or stand-alone ones in their own right.
While stopping the infanticide of newborn female babies, Mohammad effaced women from society and from any standing in the minds of men - except as compliant sex objects and obedient servants in a man's house.
Nearly 1500 years later, the proponents of a global Islamic society insist on the same standards for modern women. the only ones who concurr are the either uneducated low social status strata of Islamic countries or women trapped into following the codes like in Islamic Iran, where unbelievably severe and mindless punishment, often death, follows any infractions or in other Moslem countries where society puts on the pressure.
In pre-Islamic Iran, during the Zoroastrian era, women were equals to men and two women became Empresses and leaders of the nation, not because of some man.
