My Muslim friends are puzzled by the woman’s marches, they’re afraid to be labeled sexists, but they see western women as terribly enslaved, completely subjugated to a corporate con game; for an alternative view check this out :
“...women who want to do everything men do because men do them, have internally made men their benchmark.
It is very unfortunate that some women have been fooled into thinking they are less than men and hence—for some—their fight for their God-given rights became a fight to become equal to men. In fact, to even point this out normally triggers fierce reactions from those who have bought into this con created by those who benefit from such a scheme.
They were fed a notion by capitalist, neoliberal men in suits that in order to be equal to men, women needed to do whatever men do; thus conveniently supporting those who profit from the destructive cycle of hyper-consumerism and global capitalism that scores of women (and men) are enslaved by. It is no surprise since neoliberal ideology naturally and by design pits people against each other as competitors, leading to an epidemic of loneliness, atomisation and countless other social ills.
If a woman works in her home to serve her husband and family, she is now often socialised into looking down upon that: “not reaching her potential”. But if she expends the exact same amount of energy working to serve the pompous shareholders of her corporation: “she is a successful woman”. I am certain that, if there were profit to be made in it, we would certainly have come across people even telling women to learn to urinate standing up as some western men do!
Although the society as a whole is negatively affected by this unfair competition, women and children are its biggest losers.
Western women are unfairly left with few choices; they either have to struggle hard to “catch up” with men in the corporate world or they have to work like medieval slaves to maintain their nature as mothers and wives.”

This is a comment by a Muslim :
"The fact that men and women have to compete with each other in our consumerist society takes away the dignity of both. Men and Women and not equal even biologically. Men and women both have roles to play in society andwhen those roles are played out properly it brings harmony and balance into our society. What i believe we need is not 'equality' but we need equity. We need to give men and women their due rights and respect not try and make women more like men to become better contributors to society"
