Reply #113: All religion oppresses women

[ismnotwasm]

There is not one single major religious figure who doesn't have a prostitute parable for women, or insinuate that they are weak or defective. The basic flaw of humanity, from my feminist perspective, goes much further back than Jesus. I like to think that if human beings had been able to avoid creating the concept of the original 'other'--which ended up being women, perhaps we would have seen a faster and more profound societal maturation.
As it is, war and violence are the way and are dominated by so-called 'masculine' principals. (I personally have a better opinion of men than that, but I have good men in my life) The bible is a perfect example of constant war mongering, and Jesus himself plans that the world ends in violence and pain does he not?

Cherry picking the bible, not matter who does it, doesn't change what it says in context.
