52. You have a very good point.

"It is no accident that all of the Abrahamic religions’ fundamentalist sects are predicated on the dehumanization and vicious exploitation of women as domestic chattel.

Ignoring the rise of feminism and the drive for human rights and civil rights for women makes this analysis very two dimensional at best, and militates toward a highly flawed understanding of both problem and solution."

I suppose this is part of the reason why I summarily dismiss all religion as complete bullshit. (I have many other reasons, but we don't have all day here.)

Denying half of humanity their right to be fully human is not the mark of an advanced society. This is the case in any theocracy.
