FYI, that picture depicts a revised interpretation reflecting modern morals, not the morals of the writers of that book. The further back in time you go the less rights females had.
The reason those women do that now is because more people skip over the sexism in the bible and completely ignore it.
Our modern west became civil in spite of that book, not because of it.
We don't give a rat's ass about the Pope and catholicism, maybe him and his priests just don't like girls..
Maybe somebody should remind him that Paul said-
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28 )
And Jesus said to the snooty priests-"The prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you" (Matt 21:31)
And he's got womens backs- "I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matt 5:28 )
