There are most certainly empathetic humans all over the world that hate those things as much as I do.
That still DOES NOT change that for every UMBRELLA label, every religion has it's sub sects that interpret the umbrella label and religious traditions that have sexist male conservatives. There are sexist right wingers and and right wing "defenders" depending on the sect and geography, but EVERY religion you can think of has these pockets, to greater or lesser degrees.

Again, this is NOT an attack on human rights, this is an explanation of ANTIQUITY, in all of the world.
Humans were ignorant of evolutionary biology, and while not only mistaking fortune as coming from a divine world, males had no clue that both sexes contributed to the linage of the family so religion as a gap fill answer was dominated by patriarchal themes.
It still remains today that there has never been a Female Dali Lama in the same way there has never been a female Pope. Regardless of any liberal interpretations coming from those within those religions. And the same can be said of the bulk of power in all religions worldwide.
Hindus don't escape their sexist roots either.

Once again, while you do have progressive Hindus there are also justifications in their traditions as well for sexism. In some interpretations, it is the woman's job to please her husband and family first, her needs are secondary.
Who said "Well behaved women seldom make history?"
Ok Jews, your turn.

Muslims hate to say this but currently at this point in history, while there are certainly liberals and moderates morso in the west, the Islamic States are still the worst offenders. And this IS where it comes from.

And again, you can find today very liberal and accepting women, even liberal churches that have females in the pulpit now. But in mass worldwide again, that is not anywhere near equal.
And still today you have right wingers STILL insisting on gender rolls and STILL denying equal pay to women, and STILL trying to control the reproductive rights of women.
NOW again, this is not a call to use force to end any religion, but a call to HUMANITY to understand the context and roots of inequality, in that those traditions were written in very ignorant times. And for all the liberal humans female and males of ALL religions, yes, I think it is fantastic that you don't buy that sexist garbage. BUT it still remains that every umbrella label has sub sets that take the same religion and use the same texts and focus on different words in them that DO justify sexism. There simply is NO polite way to put it.
The next post will be links to the history of religious violence by all the worlds major religions.

article Wrote:According to Ajahn Sujato, the early texts state that the most severe of the garudhammas, which states that every nun must bow to every monk, was instituted by the Buddha because of the customs of the time, and modern scholars doubt that the rule even goes back to the Buddha at all. Furthermore, an identical rule is found in Jainism.
According to Diana Paul, the traditional view of women in Early Buddhism is that they are inferior.

article Wrote: The duties of women are again recited in Chapter 146, as a conversation between god Shiva and his wife goddess Uma, where Shiva asks what are the duties of women. Uma (Parvati) proceeds to meet all the rivers, who are all goddesses that nourish and create fertile valleys.[28] Uma suggests that the duties of women include being of a good disposition, endued with sweet speech, sweet conduct, and sweet features. For a woman, claims Uma, her husband is her god, her husband is her friend, and her husband is her high refuge. A woman's duties include physical and emotional nourishment, reverence and fulfillment of her husband and her children. Their happiness is her happiness, she observes the same vows as those that are observed by her husband, her duty is to be cheerful even when her husband or her children are angry, be there for them in adversity or sickness, is regarded as truly righteous in her conduct.[28] Beyond her husband and family, her duty is to be cheerful of heart and humble with friends and relatives, do the best she can for friends and guests. Her family life and her home is her heaven, tells goddess Parvati to Shiva
