Firstly, I am not against equal rights for women, so please, abandon that strawman.

What I am arguing against here is the notion that women who voluntarily remain in a religion that subjugates them require my undesired assistance in saving them from themselves.

In the matters of law and society I of course cast my votes with an eye to the candidate's stance on issues of equality of gender, race, ethnicity, and broader freedoms in general; but in personal matters such as religion, it is not my business to tell anyone else how to live, unless --

I raised my son to be cognizant of discrimination and bigotry, and made it plain that his acceptance of those sorts of standards would come at the price of my respect. Seems to have worked.

Had I instead had a daughter, I certainly would have taught her that she is no one's servant, and that accepting subservience would come at the price of my respect. I think that would have worked.

Finally -- rights are not granted ... they are seized.

Indeed.

But what is the first duty of one who has seized it, if mot to insure that all enjoy the same freedom of thought and action?

For evil to grow etc. , my friend.

You bobbed and weaved so far and wide there that you went right out of sight.

You do not seem to recognize that almost all things and concepts are subject to good and evil and that that is why many theorize that the tree of knowledge is the tree of knowledge of almost everything.

Try to name three exceptions to this and you will be enlightened.

If you cannot recognize that then I do not know what else to tell you.

God's command of do not gain knowledge cannot be argued to be a good command. It was thus an evil command and Eve was justified in ignoring. it.
