Axel,

Here is some choices undreamt by women in North America - to become the leader of their country. Muslim countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc have had female leaders. These countries contain far more Muslims than the Arab World. A majority of the world's Muslims live in South and South East Asia. A significant percentage of Arabs are Christians. Please don't conflate Islam and Arabs. 

Second, while the women in the Arab World are discriminated against, one should focus on the situation of women in Canada and the US. Today, 42 percent of children in the US are born to single mothers. The children and their mothers have very difficult lives. Teenage pregnancies in the US and Canada are far above European rates. One of the best ways for a man to make a woman's life miserable for decades is to impregnate her and leave. Canada at least provides free healthcare, schools, subsidised universities so that some of these children can prosper. The US doesn't.
