PCG, just to put your history in the proper chronological perspective. Aisha RA retired to the scholarly life and immensely homely life only after her defeat at Basra during the Caliphate of Ali RA. And this was because Ali RA reminded her that the Prophet SAW had in particular advised his wives not to indulge in affairs of the political society after his demise. This is no way is meant to say that women belong in the house 24/7 but just adding a little perspective to your comments. In the society of that time it was probably wise for women to not indulge in the affairs of the society of which all its major aspects of politics and business were heavily dominated by men, today society is much different though.
