I hate my boyfriends misogynistic friends

TL;DR at the end.

Hi! Me (21F) and my bf (20M) have been together for 1.5 years. I love him a lot and we are both open minded people and mostly share the same mindset.

However, he says he has trouble making friends and grew up with his strict Muslim friends, so they are the only friends he has and hang outs with.

The problem is that his friends are very misogynistic. They boast about dating underage girls when they are in their 20’s because apparently that’s okay in their religion. They actually said “ girls mature faster than guys so that’s okay”
One guy often sleeps around with women but says his girlfriend has to be a virgin for him.

They also have very misogynistic opinion towards women. Many of them have never been in a relationship. The ones who do, do not allow their girlfriends to talk to any men whatsoever, and expect their girlfriends to do all the household chores for them. They also do not allow their girlfriends to dress in revealing clothes. And by that mean they don’t want ANY skin showing whatsoever.

Many of them don’t talk to any women at all, and treat them like a different species.

And this summer I was planning to travel with him and go hiking together for the first time. However his friends are now saying they want to go with him and they do not allow any women to join them, even though I said I won’t interact with them in anyway… this is not the first time that this has happened.

My boyfriend often goes to all sorts of cool places without me, because his friends do not allow any women to come with them. This frustrates me deeply. Not because I don’t want my boyfriend to spend time with his guy friends – but the way they treat me.

They hurt my feelings and make me feel bad for being a woman. They make me feel like I’m worth less than them. And that I have to be “avoided”.

In their religion a woman is basically under the control of the man, and is suppose to listen to the husband at all times. For context, I live in Europe, but we have many Muslim immigrants in the country who share this mindset.

The problem is that my boyfriend is nothing like that. He is an atheist, open minded, does not force me to cover my whole body, allows me to do what I want etc. it’s just that they are the friends he grew up with and the only ones he has. They have completely different opinions on things.

I don’t understand why you would want to be friends with people who share a completely different mindset than you, but he says it’s just cause he grew up with them. But at the same time he doesn’t try to find new friends, or people who are more open minded.

And he is always talking about his friends and going out with them, and I can’t join him or say anything really. I just feel hurt.

How am I suppose to feel when he shares pictures of his trip with his friends? That he had his first hike with them instead of me, even though we planned it beforehand? And I couldn’t join, only because I am a woman. It just hurts me so deeply. Am I at fault or here?

TL;DR: boyfriend has misogynistic Muslim friends who have very outdated opinions on women. They do not allow me to join in any of their activities. This summer i was planning to travel with him and go hiking with him, but he is going to be traveling and hiking with his friends instead and I can’t join him because they do not allow any women to come.
