islam did not invent this . It goes way back.way back.
they just are much more barbaric. I attribute that to stupidity

Perhaps you should research how Confucianist cultures regard Ladies. Much older philosophy and religion than Islam
Goddesses were worshiped and not the Gods of war until the Bronze Age.
The Daly Lama said that in the past, some of the Daly Lama's were women and that he thinks the world should be led by women because they are more compassionate. I tend to agree with him although some men can match the compassion of women.
That is said in a general way because no one gender has a monopoly on compassion.

The problem is religion so many people just limit themselves to the belief system
someone wrote down centuries ago. The world would be way better off in most
cases without any rigid belief system.
I agree.
Morality should be what leads religion. Not some absentee immoral God.
Strangely, the Jews and Gnostic Christians were on there way to that when Christianity reversed much of what the Jews believed and before Christianity decided to decimate my founders, the Gnostic Christians.

Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg, said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. And everything else is only commentary. Now, go and study it."
Please listen as to what is said about literal reading.
"Origen, the great second or third century Greek commentator on the Bible said that it is absolutely impossible to take these texts literally. You simply cannot do so. And he said, "God has put these sort of conundrums and paradoxes in so that we are forced to seek a deeper meaning."
