Why would a person stick with a religion which hates them? You mean like following Christian groups which refuse women the right to be priests? The Christian Union group at my university didn't allow women to be president (of a university society ffs!).
People follow their religion because they've grown up with it and/or they believe in it.
Of course, pretty much all religions have treated women badly during their history and all religions have their reformers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_feminism
Here are some more links because the links section provided below is full... or something. Message me if you want to embed it in your blog.
The blogrolling people pop an ad on the top of the screen but it's easy enough to close it if you need the full link.
