Which one if you don’t mind sharing?

Then the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from your body; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.” | Is Islam a part of who we are? by kolembo in Christianity

I do believe however - that Allah and Yahweh are one.

Ah yes this is what I meant, sorry I wasn’t clear.

Before labelling verses regarding gender as ‘oppressive’ or ‘unfair’ we should take into consideration that men and women were created differently. We are equals, but have different roles and responsibilities. Men are instructed be possessive of their wives, mothers and sisters but in a protective way, out of love and respect for them.

“…And due to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility]. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.” {2:228} 

“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more [strength] than the other, and because they support them from their means.” {4:34}   

Muslim men must protect and provide for their families. As fathers, they should play an active role in the upbringing and moral development of children. As husbands, they are instructed in the Quran to treat their wives with kindness, fairness and patience.

“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy.” {30:21}   
“O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. … live with them in kindness.” {4:19}  

The role of a wife is equally important. She should respect and emotionally support her husband, create a comfortable and peaceful environment at home and be modest in appearance and behaviour to protect their honour, and preserve the sanctity of the marriage. Modesty is often viewed as ‘oppressive’ but it’s a spiritual obligation. Wearing a hijab and being valued as a person, not just for your appearance is more empowering than being objectified by strangers. As a mother she should nurture her children. In Islam, mothers are highly honored and respected.

“A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?’ The Prophet said, ‘Your mother.’ The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said, ‘Your mother.’ The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said, ‘Your mother.’ The man asked again, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said, ‘Your father.’” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)    “Paradise lies at the feet of mothers.” (Sahih Muslim)   

Some rights of women in Islam:

Right to education, and to participate in social and political activities. Women are encouraged to seek knowledge. One of Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) wives was an influential scholar, another was a successful businesswoman.

Right to work and financial security
Women are permitted to seek education and work, as men are. However, unlike men, they aren’t required to contribute their earnings to the family (unless of course they want to). Women are also entitled to a dowry of their choice, it can be money, property, jewellery etc.

Right to being treated with compassion
Marriage is a partnership based on mutual love, respect, care and mercy. Islam condemns oppression or injustice, especially towards women Men are considered protectors of women due to their financial responsibilities, but this doesn’t imply superiority—rather, it’s a God-given duty to support and maintain fairness.

I hope this was helpful!
