Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

As an ex-Muslim, this is not even comparable to the suffering of women in Islam unde Shariah law. For one thing, women can't divorce their husbands, women cant marry non-muslims. Men, since they are the head of the households, are permitted to marty non-Muslims. Upon divorce, fathers automatically take the children. Women cant gain joint custody, Mohammed in the Bukhara Hadith tells his wives that there's a special place for women in hell because all they do is gossip and trick men. Women are considered half a man. There needs to be two women to testify in court, where only one man is required if they want to serve as a witness. Women get half the inheritance whereas their male siblings get a whole share.
Women are considered the ploughs for men. There is a verse in which if a wife disobeys, their husbands are allowed to strike them.
EDIT: sorry for the typos, I'm doing this from my phone on the go. Also to add, women, when they're menstruating, can not fast, pray or touch the quran. Men can not lay with their wives during their period. There's a verse that says if a man touches a woman, the way to purify himself (if there's no water) is to rub dirt and soil on his face. Apparently women are that impure and dirty lol.
Someone, perhaps it was the parent commenter, mentioned that these views aren't prevalent. Growing up with moderate Muslims and having more religious extended family, a lot of these ideas trickle down through traditions, customs, etc., and most moderate Muslims haven't really studied the Quran and hadiths, so they can't really explain why or see why things are the way they are.
I've only studied the Quran in relation to organized religion and women's issues but I'd be glad to see how this effects men.

I'm better versed in Islam in comparison to Christianity but I may be mistaken, but I think in Deuteronomy, it permits rape of women? The Old Testament is pretty bad in general though.
