1⃣. A woman's natural habitat
A Muslim woman remains at home because Allāh ﷻ said:
﴿وَقَرۡنَ فِی بُیُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجۡنَ تَبَرُّجَ ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِیَّةِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ﴾
"And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance." [Surah Al-Aḥzāb: 33]

2⃣. A woman's role
A Muslim woman is focused on managing her household and raising her children because the Prophet ﷺ said:
((الْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ، فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ))
"The woman is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; thus all of you are guardians and will be questioned regarding your responsibilities." [Reported by Bukhāri (5200) and Muslim (1829) on the authority of Ibn 'Umar]
3⃣. A woman's 'Awrah
When a Muslim woman leaves her home to tend to her needs, she covers herself appropriately, stays clear of fitnah and does not compromise her modesty ⤵️

4⃣. Muslim boxer?!
Muslims do not strike the face because the Prophet ﷺ said:
((إِذَا قَاتَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْتَنِبِ الْوَجْهَ))
"If one of you fights, let him avoid the face." [Reported by Bukhāri (2559) and Muslim (2612) on the authority of Abu Hurairah]
Al-'Iraqi rahimahullah said: "If combat occurs between two parties, even in self-defense or something similar, one should avoid striking the face. So what do you think when there is no strike from the other side? It is even more necessary to avoid the face, because in self-defense, one might be compelled by the situation to strike the face, YET IT IS STILL PROHIBITED. Therefore, when the person being struck is not defending himself, it is even more obligatory to avoid the face."
[طرح التثريب (8/177)]
What about partaking in a sport where the aim is to strike the opponents face?!
BENEFIT: The only case where striking the face is allowed is in the case of retribution (القصاص). [Sheikh Ibn Baz - https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/21886/%D9%85%D8%A7-%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B6%D8%B1%D8%A8-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%87]
5⃣. A woman's Jihad
If one were to say, we need the likes of this woman in our ranks during Jihad, we say:
It was narrated that ‘Aishah radhiyallahu anha said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, is Jihad obligatory for women?’ He said:
((نَعَمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ جِهَادٌ لاَ قِتَالَ فِيهِ الْحَجُّ وَالْعُمْرَةُ)).‏
“Yes: Upon them is a Jihad in which there is no fighting: Hajj and ‘Umrah.” [Reported by Ahmad (25361) and Ibn Majah (2901); graded "Sahih" by Sheikh Albani]
Furthermore, Jihad is not won by disobeying Allah. It is won by upholding the boundaries set by Allah.
﴿وَلَیَنصُرَنَّ ٱللهُ مَن یَنصُرُهُ﴾
"Verily, Allâh will help those who help His (Cause)." [Surah Al-Ḥajj: 40]
6⃣. Imitating the Kuffār
Muslims do not imitate the disbelievers; not in their character, looks, speech, and most definitely not in their mindset and belief.
Allah ﷻ said:
﴿یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟﴾
"O you who believe! Do not be like those who disbelieve." [Surah Āli-ʿImrān: 156]
Similarly, the Prophet ﷺ said:
((من تشبَّهَ بقومٍ فَهوَ منهم))
“Whoever imitates any people is considered to be one of them.” [Reported by Ahmad (5114) and Abu Dawud (4031) | graded "Sahih" by Sheikh Albāni]
How can a Muslim imitate a people who are described as:
﴿إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا كَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِیلًا﴾
"They are only like cattle—no, more than that, they are astray from the ˹Right˺ Way!" [Surah Al-Furqān: 44]
Harb Al-Kirmāni said: "I said to Ishaq, 'What about someone who says to a polytheist that he is an intelligent man?' He replied, 'It is not appropriate to say that, because they do not possess intellect.'"
[الجامع لعلوم الإمام أحمد (97/20)]
How can one dignified with Islam lower herself to such a degree?!
7⃣. Imitating men
