“Yes how does that contradict what I learned?”
You invented a boich svara to explain the Halacha, to fit a feminist agenda, when the Halacha explicitly gives the reason for the Halacha and it isn’t the boich svara you came up with.
“this kind of way of reading halacha as seeing women the way the Arabs do, and twisting halacha to defend it is really inexcusable.”
Wow, you really are lashing out at the Rambam now. I quoted his giving the reason for the Halacha (which was the only reason presented and no one else offered a reason here, so clearly you were upset with his explanation), but his explanation isn’t unique to him. It says as much directly by Chazal.
