That doesn't seem to say that a woman's chastity is more important than a mans. Rather it seems to point out that men are weaker than women when it comes to controlling their sexual urges, and therefore have to do MORE than women to keep themselves chaste. Women are admonished to cover as a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Covering, standing in the back durring congregational prayers, these things aren't meant to keep women, but men chaste.
Fact of the matter is, men and women are commanded equally to gaurd their chastity. Therefore this whole argument that Islam emphasises the chastity of women more than men is silly. Culture pushes one over the other, not Islam.
