Why are two woman witnesses, equivalent to only one male witness in Islam ?

Re: Why are two woman witnesses, equivalent to only one male witness in Islam ?

Besides that fact that broad generalizations about men and women are exactly that - broad generaliztions - western Muslim women, their status, responsibilities, educational level and the societies in which they live are *drastically *different than the time and place being referenced in scritpure and hadith. So after 5 pages, there still isn't a logical answer.
