Yes, the power of men over women in some sections of Muslim society is terrible- and all too often partially enforced by traditionally- minded older women. And all to often policed by physical and mental violence. But the breaking of that power is unlikely to be made easier if that community is allowed to see itself as victimised and demonised. Much better is the hard work of programs carried out by people of those communities, to make women (especially) aware of their rights, and aware that stepping outside what some see as their communities traditions doesn't have to lead to social isolation.
