Does the New Testament contain sexism?

...However of you really want a glimpse of paleolithic culture, then I suggest you look at native American culture, because they were essentially a paleo/Mesolithic culture for many years after the Europeans came. I have to say that from what I have studied of their old culture it is absolutely fascinating, and their way of viewing the world was far more enlightened then Christianity.

I very much agree with that sentiment too -- but, on the other hand, Christian enlightenment (or that of any of the Abrahamic faiths for that matter) doesn't set a very high bar in the first place. Given the simple fact that all Abrahamic faiths were birthed from the same harsh and ugly time in Levantine history -- when all the ancient Empires that came before them slowly collapsed into chaos only to have the scraps of these empires constantly whip and pummel that entire area relentlessly for close to a thousand years -- enlightment likely was not a tool that lead to survival back then. In my opinion, this is why all three of these Abrahamic cultures that managed to survive to the modern age remain rather unenlightened -- they literally dragged forward to the present day, a rather misguided fondness for much of the hell from which they came -- by codifying it and labelling it "faith." (as the OP so rightly exemplifies in the chosen citations).

It would seem that the evolutionary processes behind the survival of the most fit societies does not differ all that much from those processes that lead to survival of life itself. Both processes seem, all too often, to value violence over enlightenment.
