It’s because of ignorance, of both men & women and especially women
and cultural bad habits.
and America is not the only place where women are taking their destinies by hand, even in some arab/muslim countries like here in algeria, and that’s thanks to education (both secular and good religious educations) and awareness.
so the next time some “know it all” pretenders imam who’s real knowledge is below zero preach on you some distorted old and false concepts you can send him away with some solid arguments.
but there is much to do allot of people don’t know their duty and talk too much about rights.

In Minnesota, away from the cultural influences of their lands of origin, Muslims have an excellent opportunity to take Islam and implement it the way it should be implemented. One aspect of this is empowering women. I hope Muslim women in the US can teach their sisters abroad how to reclaim their God-given rights and look at Islam as liberation, not restraint.
