36. Organized religions are the bastion
of women's oppression. The US was so close to passing the ERA as an amendment to the Constitution when all organized religions united to stop it.

I can't think of an institution that has done more to keep down than organized religion.

I give you lots of credit for standing up to these guys who become flaccid at the sight of a woman with confidence, intelligence, and assertiveness.
