Actually Orthodox Judaism does a lot of things right in regards to women now that I think about it. Very patriarchal, women and men are generally separate. Women have to wear clothes that hide their figure and hair at all times except in the bedroom (tsnius). The extended family is still in place for raising kids. Women end up having 8 to 12 children. This seems to keep them in shape generally too. Much more feminine than non-orthodox. I just can't stand going to services and all of the rules you have to follow.
For some reason husband and wife do not sleep together unless having sex for kids. They sleep in seperate beds. Each time they menstruate they have to have a ritual bath in a mikveh, which probably keeps the hamster in line too.
