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.

Talk about a straw man argument! I never said Venice was "typical." I said that what was true for Venice and Holland - that women were allowed to set foot in public spaces unveiled and speak with men outside their own family - was true for other places as well.

Or are you now going to argue that 16th century France and England enclosed women in harems?

Women of the west are tainted by Eve's sin by the dominant religion- Christ

If women of the West were tainted by Eve's sin, they were also elevated by the Virgin Mary's grace. There is no Islamic equivalent to the Marian devotion or its secular equivalent, chivalry.
