I doubt you've read more history books than I have, and if you think Venice was "typical" you've been reading some really really weird history books. You may have been limiting yourself to the 16th century, but I was talking about the history of "the West". Women of the west are tainted by Eve's sin by the dominant religion- Christianity. I don't know how much worse you can get than to blame women for the human race's misery at being thrown out of paradise, and to tell women that their pain in childbirth and the risk of death in it is all the fault of Eve's sin in the garden of Eden. Seems to me the West was a pretty cruel place for women, and I don't agree with you that "Arabs" are worse. You seem fixated on the harem thing and rape thing. IMO you've got to look at the whole spectrum. And if you add up everything vile that happened to women in "the West", versus the Arab world, I think the vile addition is going to be a pretty close match. I understand you think all the history books you've read lead you to another conclusion- but given that you also tell me Venice was typical, I hope you will understand I think you are less than credible.
