Why do the Abrahamic religions hate the female body so much?
June 14, 2018 at 10:07 am
I mean, they believe god created everything and said it was good, but when he created the human body, he said that’s very good. So why when they look at what god said is very good and they say yuck, filthy, dirty, nasty. Get it away. I don’t want to see that.
Well, think about it. These religions developed in the ancient world, before Ivory soap, before Right Guard. There was no Aqua Fresh, no Head n Shoulders. They had to deal with the human body in the raw. And it was nasty,
Is it any wonder that these ancient religions are nolonger relevant in a world undreamed of by thos who first encoded them in holy writ?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

It's because the ruling men hated the idea that women had something over them. One minute you're dignified, the next minute a woman walks by and you're all horny.

We also have contraceptives now. Although from the story where the guy deliberately pulled out so he wouldn't get his dead brother's wife pregnant (which was his religious/cultural duty) they understood that much.

Most of their book(s) makes women scapegoats. They become wayward property and tools.

Well what did you expect from a book written by goat fuckers? Supposedly all of the authors were male. Of course they are going to be biased towards their own gender.

It was never really about cleanliness....that;s never been a problem. The reason that magic books misogynist appraisal of females is still relevant is that the underlying desire, control, and loss of control in desire is as relevant as it ever was. The most notorious women in the bible weren;t known for crud and filth in any case. Eves and Sapphiras and Jezebels and Delilahs...Jaels Rahabs and Bathshebas. Lots fuckin daughters...lol. Theres some hardcore pron in magic book..them boys definitely wanted to see "it".
The trouble was that these figures exerted control and authority, some by overtly leveraging their body..which wasn;t dirty so much as shameful. Even jesus got in on the act...the whole "if thine own eye offends thee" was a clever double entendre about ditching bad girls who lead you astray....and we all know he had a thing for prostitutes.
There isn;t enough soap in the world to wash away the unrighteousness™ lying at the heart of those narratives...frankly, a little extra soap would have only helped them ply their evil trade. 
Womens bodies weren;t considered The Bad Thing because they were dirty...but because of what womens bodies could do to men, mens plans, and mens faith. It;s a traditional fear of the seductress and usurper, not an aversion to nasty vag.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
