Yes. I think this is the reign of the patriarchal system in play.
Don't anyone take that the wrong way. I'm talking about an archaic system, not men. Besides, it's my opinion that it wasn't only men who perpetuated the patriarchal system—casting blame is not that simple, neither does it do any good (in my opinion). I think moving forward without blaming is more productive. For instance, instead of prosecuting the Muslims subjugating women and concentrating on the problem, free the women and work on the solution. (I'm well aware that I have stated a complex thing in simplified words.) To me it's really about focus and proactivity, not punishment.
