What is Women Role in Islam?

I know women CAN’T be leader of a country, soldiers and judges. I know the most important role is being a mother and wife.

I want to know whether CAN be something other than the OBVIOUS (medicine, teacher etc).

I am asking this because I come across another respected scholar cursing women that speak in lectures, give talks etc. He was answering a question from a fellow Muslim who asked him what he thoughts were about women that “acted” like men by giving lectures.

To be honest, I rolled my eyes at the question and the answer.

And also I have come across members in this group saying women HAVE to do jobs that are the obvious jobs otherwise she is committing a sin and leaving her home unnecessary! So those of you (sisters) that have their own business, scientists, cleaners, receptionists, mathematicians etc are committing a sin! You can’t even give a lecture either (btw you dont have to raise you voice or use soft voice to give a talk)?

Now I obviously think that it is wrong! Now why am I seeing more and more people that have this mentality? Don’t they look at the bigger picture and see the consequences? Most women that work in hospital and have business in Saudi and most Middle East countries are NON Muslims!

I am beginning to feel like a militant feminist lol

Please tell me that I am not only one?
