Honestly, I don't know a single large, established religion that treats women and men as equals.

Maybe I missed one. Let me know if I did. But really every religion I have researched puts women in a second class position in some form or another.

The large, established religions don't all believe the stupid and anti-scientific idea that an embryo or fetus is equal to the living breathing human being carrying it. If you kill her off, how do you get more children? I guess they think women are interchangeable parts and they can get a newer model. But all the major religions have other hateful ideas about women.

Some religions won't even let a man touch a woman who is having her period. How awful must that make women feel?

Anyway, most religions feel the need to subjugate women and let men treat them like crap. It's in their ancient scriptures written by men thousands of years ago.
