Aisha Abd al-Rahman[edit]

I don't understand the items in bold, nor how this ties to a statement about the Quran not differentiating between men and women. Can someone help me?

Aisha Abd al-Rahman, a Koranic scholar, states that there is little equality for today's Muslim women, because such women cannot confuse the natural biological differences between males and females, "nor the social differences between a man and woman… Equality for this new woman does not go beyond the equitable rights and obligations". &ref>Barazangi, Nimat Hafez.
