Religion's Treatment of Women

[chatpilot]

Well,the bible does teach that women should be subject to man since she came from mans rib and was created after man.If you read the bible in it's entirety you will see that women in the scriptures are always treated like second class citizens.Considering the source of the scriptures (the middle east) it comes as no surprise to me.Since in most of those middle eastern countries women continue to be regarded as servants to their men and are not even allowed to get an education.That just goes to show that those that wrote the various books of the bible are nothing more than male chauvanistic pigs just as their culture has taught them to be.The ironic thing about religion is that statistically women are its (religion) most faithful adherents.

Genesis 2:22,23
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 3:16
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

So according to this last verse as part of the curse that god bestowed upon women,one of them was that man shall rule her and she will be obligated to be subservient to him.
