Contrary to American popular belief, Islam has a culture and history of women empowerment.

But such assessments focus on Muslim women as the victims of religion and often fail to appreciate the empowerment a number of these women experience precisely as a result of their faith in the unity of God (Tawhid), and the belief in Prophet Mohammad as the last messenger of God. The agency of women by virtue of their faith is often overlooked.

Do you agree?

Huffington Post as fuck

When Islam was first kicking off? Probably yeah

Now? No.

I don't think you can call any of the Monothesitic religions femmnist when they all have very clear very different teachings of the roles of men and women. The women are always subordinate.

what did Islam do when it first kicked off just curious

Nothing more powerful than being covered head-to-toe in ancient garb when you're in public.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_feminism

A combination of Islam and feminism has been advocated as "a feminist discourse and practice articulated within an Islamic paradigm" by Margot Badran in 2002.[1] Islamic feminists ground their arguments in Islam and its teachings,[2] seek the full equality of women and men in the personal and public sphere, and can include non-Muslims in the discourse and debate. Islamic feminism is defined by Islamic scholars as being more radical than secular feminism,[3] and as being anchored within the discourse of Islam with the Quran as its central text.[4]

Advocates refer to the observation that Muslim majority countries "have produced" several female heads of state, prime ministers, and state secretaries such as Lala Shovkat of Azerbaijan, Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan, Mame Madior Boye of Senegal, Tansu Çiller of Turkey, Kaqusha Jashari of Kosovo, and Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia.
