According to the Quran women were socially and spiritually beneath men

I am not sure where you got that information because Islam was the first ever religion to give women rights and before Islam came women didn’t have that much rights they didn’t know there worth. For example, Women in Islam don’t have to take there husbands last name or they have the right to vote or to have an education this all did not happen until Islam came. This is also proven by Harvard University. Hope that helped and you got to understand a little more about the religion of Islam:))
