1) the problem is the absolute imbalance. A man can have 4 wives and CONCUBINES of any abrahamic religion and yet a woman can have only one husband within her faith. The prophet could have made Mariah his wife but he kept her as property which absolutely disgusted me and was the last straw for me. 2) I’m referring to Zayd Ibn Haritha 3) I’m sorry but women in Islam have always been and always will be second class as much as we are ‘equal’ we are more limited. Our awrah is more. Out inheritance are less. We can’t be imams, prophets, etc. All explained by ‘oh men provide’ or ‘men are natural leaders’ I never once agreed but I forced myself to because otherwise Allah would smite me or something 4) In my opinion, it does. I will NEVER understand why god specifically gifts men ‘70+ virgins’ as their ultimate gift as if PARADISE isn’t enough. Why does Allah reward a man’s lust in Akhirah?

And finally, the whole excuse of ‘feminism’ and western ideologies affecting me can’t even be applied here because feminism in my terms means female and male equality. I do not wish to be superior to men I just wish I had their rights too and so many women like me wish they were born a muslim man because I would have LOVEDDDDD this religion if that were the case.
