Q-Is it not a fact that “ISLAM CONSIDERS WOMEN TILTH FOR MEN” and thus degrades them?
ANS: The verse they refer to is as under.
“Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so, approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter) and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.” (Al-Quran 2:223)
Yes, woman is called the tilth for man, but it is not that a parallel is being drawn between her and tilth. It is a simile, that it is man whose seed a woman carries in her womb. It is in this context that this simile is given for understanding.
For those who really understand the Quran, this verse asks for a better attitude towards women. you see, a farmer looks after his tilth, waters it, protects it against all climate conditions.
In the same way man is supposed to take every care of woman, for he has been given more physical strength and has been made her protector and manager of her affairs.
Allah Knows Best.

Arrogance is not only a sign of insecurity, but also a sign of immaturity. Mature and fully realised persons can get their points across, even emphatically without demeaning or intimidating others.
