Religion’s shocking woman problem: What’s behind the misogyny of Organised religion? [View all]

[mr blur]

As a movement, Christianity seems like it would be so compatible with feminism — and yet that hasn't been the case .

What do the Roman Catholic Church and Islam have in common? Not much beyond a few myths, you might think. But that would be to ignore the fact that they both regard women as second-class citizens, inferior to men.

It's seems impossible to ignore this fact yet millions of women do.

Why is that, do you think?

Why would people deflect the discussion away from this truth and instead aim it at some remarks of a couple of 'famous' atheists as if the things they might have said were going to lead to women giving up their rights, having their babies sold to rich non-believers, having their children assaulted and raped...?

Why is it socially acceptable to be an apologist for Catholicism or Islam yet one remark in defence of an atheist speaker will result in you being labelled "Sexist!", "Misogynist!" or worse.

Matthew 7:3 would seem to cover this.
