Sexist Quranic readings serve male-elite interests rather than inherent scripture.

Evidence

Masculine logic is refuted by mysteries; males’ pride becomes a sin, their agitation is not only absurd but culpable: Why remodel this world created by God himself? The passivity to which woman is doomed is sanctified. Reciting her rosary by the fire, she knows she is closer to heaven than her husband, who is out at political meetings. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 1765 (#complicates, via linked claim)
