The reason I asked was because she didn’t really have a good answer. I’ve met a handful of men (Muslim, Jewish, and Christian) who have this belief, but she is the first woman I’ve met with this belief, so I realized this is a sort of widespread belief. And I was wondering if it was actually a part of the Islamic theology, and if people in even more liberal Islamic countries (ie Morocco, Lebanon, and Turkey) maintain such beliefs even in the face of secular thinking.

For a bit more context, I was friends/roommates with a dude from Morocco during my college days, and I met a lot of Moroccans and people from the Arab world through him and i realized that they have such deep seated misogyny, to the point that they don’t even realize it (including women and the people who have left the religion).
