I asked several people about PM's point re: Khadija, and your subsequent response, and universally everyone agreed with PM on that point (including me). Why do you think Khadija cannot be used as an example for women nowadays? You still have not explained that.
When I say something is not completely off the mark, then I am basically saying that there ARE some relevant points/comparisons to be made. PM's example of racism concerns black and whites. Here, the situation is between men and women. Not completely analagous because we're talking about two different groups of people, but similarities can be drawn -- as I pointed out in the specific treatment that the subordinate group in both examples (blacks and women) experienced.
If you disagree and are trying to convince me/others of your point of view, you're going to have to be more compelling than just saying "are you convinced now that this example does not work".
Your reasoning here is really rather facile. You haven't swayed me one iota.
