I have a few questions about Islam
I would agree that there are some roles men cannot do that women can (bearing children being the obvious). But the reverse isn't really true -- there are very few roles women cannot perform as well as men, with the exception, in some cases, of heavy lifting type gruntwork. (Although there are some very strong women, just as there are some physically weak men.) In other words, once the child's born and no longer breast feeding, there's no rational reason the woman can't go out and be the bread-winner while the man stays home with the kids, other than the fact that this particular religion doesn't agree with that scenario. That *is* sexist.
The only reason women need men is for their sperm, to create children, and scientists already figured out how to turn a stem cell from a *woman* into a sperm, so it won't be long before women don't even need us for that either. That doesn't work in reverse; even if we figure out how to create eggs from the stem cells of a male, we still don't have a uterus or birth canal. Women are very close to being sufficient unto themselves, and men are very close to being obsolete.
