Anonymous replies: Men are superior to women, and a man is better than a woman.
(Q7:34)

God established the superiority of men over women by the above verse (the Qur'an 4:34) which prevents the equating of men and women. For here man is above the woman due to his intellectual superiority and his ability to administer and spend on the woman.

Anonymous replies: How come all the uni degrees requiring an intellectually superior standard contain more female students (approximately 2/3, and approaching 3/4). We have the power.

Amy replies: How exactly did a statement about the queen being the true sovereign turn so rapidly into a "boys are better than girls" argument?

I can't see how any of these posts are in any way a reply to the original, but then I am a female on a male-dominated university course, which according to all the previous posts would make me monumentally unintelligent.

I'll leave it to you guys to explain that to the other female engineers, it's taken all the brain power I have just to write this.

nico replies: err sorry guys you are all wrong - parliament is sovereign and its power is derived from the support of the people (luckily now male or female). Interestingly in America the constitution is sovereign all power is derived from a document - not the people, vive la difference!

We won't try to persuade you that voting is a good or a bad idea - we're just here to record and share your explanations. Whether ideological, practical or other, any reason will do.

A lot of users would like us to mention that if you spoil your ballot paper, it will be counted. So if you want to record a vote for "none of the above", you can.
