discuss Treatment of Women in Religion

[Yama]

Do you think religions treat women unfairly? Do you think religions put men above women? I have read religious books on many religions and based on my reading I have found numerous instances where men are considered superior above women. Generally speaking, religions do not treat women unfairly but based on religious books and practice of religion there are enough evidence that religions are little hard on women.

I wouldn't exactly classify it as unfair treatment. More like religions recognize the difference between men and women and treats it as such.

There is a natural difference between men and women. Men tend to be more dominant and have leader qualities while women tend to be more submissive (changed over the years with sociological factors). Christianity, for example, asks from a woman to respect her husband and tend to his needs for he is the head of the household, however it also states that he should respect his wife and treat her good because they have become one flesh. If God didn't like women, he would never give them such amazing power and privilage (bringing life to this Earth). I think that women nowadays due hardcore propaganda are brainwashed into thinking that being mother is something ugly.

In the BIble, Jesus seems to be quite pro-Woman, but the apostle Paul does not. Some even think Paul was a false apostle for that and other reasons.

Do we have a woman Pope, a woman Imam, a woman priest, a woman prophet in the last 6-7 thousand years of religious history? I rest my case.

There is a battle going on these days between male and female supremacy and both are bad options.
