(23,475 posts)Woman are still lower class in this society and I am sure that plenty "men" in political high places do not like that women have joined them. They were happy when women were home makin babies and cooking diner.
Mostly churches have only men at the helm. And the ones that have let women in are few and far between. It would seem that they have a definite interest in keeping women out of their club also.
If you get the chance Netflix has a documentary called, "So the bible tells me so" It shows how people have used the bible to crush all sorts of groups that they didn't "like". And it ends with homosexuality and it is very interesting how they show the church demeaning and degrading anyone that they don't like.
Oh and it explains that, "abomination" word. Basically it was all written in terms of what was considered helpful in that day. Like don't eat shellfish because someone died from eating shellfish and don't have sex for fun because we need those babies to keep the numbers up in our tribe or we face death from another tribe.
