If that is the case then it isn't necessarily all to do with [i]Islam[/i] and women.
You'll have to talk about cultural sensibilities, and differences among different cultural groups.
You'll need to talk about eg how Muslim women don't like being touched, (believe me it's something some people don't realise).

[4:34][i] The men are made responsible for the women, and GOD has endowed them with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners. The righteous women will cheerfully accept this arrangement, since it is GOD's commandment, and honor their husbands during their absence. If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first talk to them, then deserting them in bed, then you may beat them. If they obey you, you are not permitted to transgress against them. GOD is Most High, Supreme.[/i]
God disencourage wife-beating by using the best psychological approach. For example, if I don't want you to shop at Market X, I will ask you to shop at Market Y, then at Market Z, then, as a last resort, at Market X. This will effectively stop you from shopping at Market X, without insulting you. Similarly, God provides alternatives to wife-beating; reasoning with her first, then employing certain negative incentives. Remember that the theme of this sura is defending the women's rights and countering the prevalent oppression of women. Any interpretation of the verses of sura 4 must be in favor of the women. This sura's theme is "protection of women." This expression simply means that God is appointing the husband as "captain of the ship." Marriage is like a ship, and the captain runs it after due consultation with his officers. A believing wife readily accepts God's appointment, without mutiny.
Men are physically superior to women, and exactly where are the limits to how much you can beat them?

You seem to link two things together which would not otherwise seem to be linked.
Here you are trying to link wife-beating with female prayer-leaders as if the two were linked.
No doubt you will take out of context an aspect of one argument and apply it to another in order to make a bewildering assertion.

I know you’ll be great. You’re very confident mashallah.
Being relaxed plays a huge part. Personally I find public speaking hell, cos I’m a bit too quiet and shy by nature…I hate all eyes on me, I never know where to look...and I find it impossible to say "No" to people….and despite the fact that I do public speaking fairly regularly now, for some reason it doesn’t get easier. :?
Questions are always the hardest part of any presentation/lecture…it catches you off guard.
I was asked by a group of non Muslim “Why women can’t lead prayer”…and how it was “sexist and unfair”….they really felt strongly about this….I was trying so hard to choose my words carefully, and really wanted to answer the question properly …I didn’t want to be too explicit or say something that was inappropriate…. And many of the non Muslims weren’t familiar with the motions of prayer. In the end after going round in circles…I asked a Muslim guy from the audience to come and demonstrate the movements in prayer and asked the audience…”Now, could any girl be comfortable doing THAT in front of hundreds of men?”…FINALLY they got it.
So be prepared for all sorts of questions.
I’ve sent you a PM…please let me know how it went.

You have taken that quote from a non-Muslim source. It blames Islam for the state of Muslim women without actually mentioning Islam by name. For you to accept that it [i]is[/i] Islam that is responsible for this is naive. BTW, the article then goes on to give the customary 'I'm not being racist cos it's not like they all do it' appendage ie 'this is not true of every predominantly Muslim nation. The democratically elected president of Indonesia, for example, is a woman, as is the prime minister of Bangladesh.'
You accept too readily non-Muslim charecterisations of Islam. You refuse to belive that Muslims are capable of doing anything civilised. You have the idea that 'West is best'.
Anything from a Western non-Muslim source you accept readily. Maybe this is because the information is provided in a simplistic and generalised way - this you find easy to comprehend. But slightly more complicated and detailed rebuttals of misconceptions you refuse to accept largely because you lack the capacity to read and understand them.

Judda u should go study Islamic studies in detail before u make crass comments like that. in [4:34] the Arabic word used is "wadribuhunna," from the root word "darb." Linguistically, "darb" has many meanings, some of which include to hit or strike lightly. The English translations may be misleading in some cases and that is why it is important to go to the Arabic sources and see how the scholars have interpreted this verse.
there are many Ahadith in which the Prophet (s.a.w) forbids men to beat their wives. and it is further explained by the sahaba that this 'light hitting' is such done by a miswak, something that would b an admonition without causing pain or harm.
