Truth is any source can be construed in multiple ways to create injustice or the opposite and you often have to see how it plays out in real life. For example, people in the Jewish world were saying that halacha cvs allows child abuse because abusers tend to touch children without adults around and halachically children are not witnesses… But now with the swing liberalism has taken, we are seeing how much evil can be done when uncorroberated allegations are taken as fact, despite the lack of witnesses, and can be used to destroy people who have led righteous lives for as long as anyone knows…

And abusers don’t typically stop with one victim unfortunately and are eventually caught…

So something that may have been seen as condoning evil cvs is now being seen as protecting innocent people.

We can say the same here. Muslims and Jews seem to have similar laws of modesty, similar language and emphasis with the husband being the head of the household and the wife glorified as the mother etc… Yet look into Muslim society and you see that they don’t protect women with their modesty, they degrade them, beat them, and even honour kill them. So the whole talk of the modesty being a women’s protection of her honour etc is a sham.

Contrast that with the relationship between Jewish men and their wives, now and throughout the generations and you see mutual respect of each other and complementing roles, with the exceptions here and there that occur in any body of people.that is all the proof you need of what master means.
