Do you believe that religion is the historical root of misogyny?

[Tumbulu]

21. But the Christian Bible and all the other writings reflect only

what people at the time of the writing believed and or felt. Or felt the need to express poetically. That the times of the writing were bathed in misogyny is not of issue ( I do not think).

Where does it come from? That is the question. I do not think that it comes from the church itself. I think that any popular religion picks up the ideas of it's time and expresses them/codifies them/ preaches them. These Bibles and other Revered Writings of the major and minor religions are historical documents capturing the poetry of the time when they were written.

The various Church's have profited greatly by expounding on this misogyny, but I am of the opinion that they did not create the atmosphere of it, they simply used it and capitalized on it.

Every single thing on your lists is something that the Patriarchy wishes to be true, but if one has eyes can see clearly that they are not true- at least in our natural/material world.
