Unfortunately for readers, you have not shown enough quotes to appreciate the disgusting view of women by Mohammad when he made up his religion:
Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
wonderful Hadith here where the believing woman is green from bruises but Mohd couldn't care less about her
"Narrated Ikrima: 'Rifaa divorced his wife whereupon Abdur-Rahman married her. Aisha said that the lady came wearing a green veil and complained to her (Aisha) and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by the beating. It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's messenger came, Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes! When Abdur-Rahman heard that his wife had gone to the prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him, but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment. Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's messenger! She has told a lie. I am very strong and can satisfy her, but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifaa." Allah's messenger said to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifaa unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." The prophet saw two boys with Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes." The prophet said, "You claim what you claim (that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow.""
The sexism is obvious, as can be found in the Skeptics Annotated Quran's section on Women. It's quite a long list, here is a subset of really loony verses:
* A woman is worth one-half a man. 2:282 ; and males are to inherit twice that of females. 4:11
* Lewd women are to be confined to their houses until death. 4:15 ; but the wives of Mohammad will be punished double for lewdness! 33:30
* You can't have sex with married women, unless they are slaves obtained in war (with whom you may rape or do whatever you like). 4:24
* Don't pray if you are drunk, dirty, or have touched a woman lately. 4:43
* A husband can accuse his wife of adultery with only one witness. 24:6
* The wives of Mohammad are not like other women. They must not leave their houses. 33:32-33 [a little controlling, aren't we Mohammad?] ; oh, and Allah says it is lawful for Muhammad to marry any women he wants. 33:50-51
* If men must speak to Muhammad's wives they must speak from behind a curtain. And no one must ever marry one of his wives. 33:53
These are just nutty (now we know what Mohammad liked fair, young virgins with wide eyes):
* The single-minded slaves of Allah will enjoy a Garden filled with lovely-eyed virgins. 37:40-48
* Allah will reward faithful Muslims after they die with "fair ones with wide, lovely eyes." 44:54
* Those in the Garden will be attended by immortal youths with wide, lovely eyes. 56:17-23Violent sexism and wife beating in the Quran
