Such a long thread, I'd like to voice my position on the issue.
I think women have the right to do whatever they want, but I don't like the idea of a woman truck driver or sewerage cleaner .. (I said don't like).
My wife works because she wants to, I'd never force her to do or not do anything, I pay for the full expenses of our house and she keeps whatever salary she gets, what she spends from her salary on the house, kids, or even on vacations is just a generous gesture that I tell her she shouldn't do.
If she wants to stay home, I'll probably give her whatever she made as a salary. I don't want money to be a factor in her choice.
And QatarOcean is just saying what he THINKS the Quran says... QatarOcean: you must respect the Quran enough to quote the actual Ayahs, in Arabic, and include many different explanations (Tafseer), as well as the opinions of several scholars on the subject before saying something as broad as "The quran says men are better than women"... This is not the issue of this thread, and if you want to discuss this, it should be in another thread, preferably in Arabic.
