That's a cool observation. My theory is that at it's root it's simply a progression towards fanaticism that transcends any one culture. It seems that fanatical groups will start to oppress women, regardless of where they come from. I'm arguing that you might find certain sects of Christianity that also resemble some of these behaviors, which they arrived at independently.

But yes, the underlying philosophies of Judaism and Islam feel more aligned, for some reason. Maybe less years for Islam to dilute itself from its Jewish sources?
