Something never actually talked about is why do these Islamic countries keep needing to further restrict women? I know the feminist answer, but what about proper logical thought. Could it be as simple as they are trying to hold women to their religious standard yet influenced by feminism and the outside world they continue to push the envelope anyway and require further extremes to push them back into their religion defined roles?

You can't negotiate with women, they have no innate sense of honor, no aversion to cowardice. They are manipulators. I'd negotiate on abortion with proper men and come to a solution. With women, they'd tell you what you want to hear to get you to turn around and walk away, then stab you in the back.
