Women aren't allowed to lead men in prayer but men are allowed to lead women in prayer. I love how male Muslim apologists use their own lack of personal responsibility to justify the systematic disenfranchisement of women the same way Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews do. It's almost like messianic received religion is the core issue and less religious societies have less sexual and physical violence towards women.
