why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women

Started this discussion. Last reply by Jeffrey Doherty Sr. Jul 28, 2010. 22 Replies

So my lovely wife (who is a laxed Druid) and I were talking the other day, and we have been noticing that most if not all patriarchal religions (jebus-krispies, hebes, derka-derkas) have an absolute…Continue

For various reasons I HATE the whole concept of religion. (yes I know, my therapist and I have alot to talk about) One of the main reasons is the complete and total replacement of logical,…Continue

Thank you for your input, it is very astute. Its also from an angle that I hadn't thought of before.

The way I was raised, the church tried to make it sound almost as if they glorified women. They tell me to dress modestly, because my body "is a temple". I also am expected to avoid tattoos, multiple piercings, etc. I am supposed to be…

I suspect that the origin of sexism is the male fear of being cuckolded. Women always know that their baby is theirs, but men can never be 100% certain who slipped their mate the juice. They don't want to get tricked into bringing home the…

I feel your pain. My 4 month old son was born with spina bifida. My catholic in-laws keep saying that its 'god's plan' and that 'He has His reasons.' What kind of reason can there be in a child destined to live that kind of…

Thats what the problem is. In the older days religions also went through the process of evolution as the society did. Now relgious evolution had stopped because of factors like availbility of more and more printing materials etc. But society kept on…

amer muhammad replied to Jeffrey Doherty Sr.'s discussion 'why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women'
but when taking into consideration that Mohammed had nineteen wives (score, by the way) it can’t be a simple matter of sour grapes. He was unable to re-marry untill his rich and influential first wife died. His prime years were gone by then.…

Very sad, isn't it. This is the 21st Century, you'd think that religion would 'graduate' to adult thinking levels with the advent of technology and widespread information.

amer muhammad replied to Jeffrey Doherty Sr.'s discussion 'why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women'
You and your wife are right. All religions seem to oppress women. In my openion its more to do with time period of creation of modren day religions. Almost all of them were created in a society at a time period when women were dominated by the male.…

I’ve been wondering how I should put this. My art history teacher had a theory about how female-goddesses were too big a threat to the political dominance of men (when taking into consideration that even while pagan religions were not quite…

Howard S. Dunn replied to Jeffrey Doherty Sr.'s discussion 'why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women'
My bro-in-law is an anthropologist of some renown. He told me that, in a way, patriarchal is a misnomer in that it suggests that there would be such a thing as a Matriarchy - which was rare if you consider that female 'rule' isn't an…

Thank you Jennifer, that is basically what I'm asking.

Jennifer Anker replied to Jeffrey Doherty Sr.'s discussion 'why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women'
I think he's more referring to the institutional sexism and other bigotries that we as individuals cannot pretend does not exist than any personal and direct effects like the neighbor asking how if he married her for her body or her cooking and…

I don't believe you can't spell, since you wrote in the initial paragraph of this post that word correctly spelled! You and Your family probably needs a stronger sense of what's right and what's all bullshit in this world.

I'm on my 4th vodka of the day, forgive me for my lack of spelling ability. And I would ignore those faiths, if they didn't do their best to try to impress their ideas on me and my family.

Claire M Binkley replied to Jeffrey Doherty Sr.'s discussion 'why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women'
Patriarchal, although I'm skeptical you can't spell it, as visu: we have been noticing that most if not all patriarchal religions... I find it best to ignore those faiths and proceed with life in general, doing normal feminine deeds.

Prog Rock Girl replied to Jeffrey Doherty Sr.'s discussion 'why patriarcial (sp?) religions hate women'
Neo-paganism has most likely niced itself up for contemporary audiences. It is more like an entirely new religion than a revival of an old religion, because most of the old traditions haven't been recorded well and people have made it up as…

Hello and welcome to this friendly meeting place
where we recognise that religion is a superstition and fraud with imaginary gods used to control people, and that it is tragic and inexcusable that women have been oppressed these last 2000 years.
