The only way to change it is to give them more freedoms, rights, education, etc. Societies eventually move towards a society where both sexes are respected only when they have democracy, freedoms and most importantly some form of freedom of speech. All of this goes against much of the current Islamic governing principles.

It does not matter if you agree or not, people do see things differently. If they did not there would be little disagreement the world over.
