There are, however, no justifications as to why women are to be subjugated other than that it is God’s will and that women tempt men. Al-Ghazali explains his culture’s subjugation of woman through the use of situations based on social constructs; a woman learning to read being wicked, women’s virtues being the faults of men, a woman who obeys without question is best and the opposite tantamount to evil (Quest 25. |
I think "In mans opinion" could be inserted at the start of most of the quoted sentences in this paragraph.
The same could be inserted to all the references about animals also.
"The Victor writes the history" can also mean "the Stronger writes the history"
So man places himself above both women and animals, placing them in the same class.
And we know that Women and Men are equal in most things so therefore man is judging himself as an animal.
Just thought I'd add some convoluted logic to the discussion
