(Cazenovia, NY – Jan. 2012) Now don’t get your bloomers in a writhe. I won’t be saying that women are a curiosity, and I certainly won’t advance any idea that women are somehow less than men. Heck, in ways they’re elevate surpass. But I do have a curiosity that raises a question I think worth asking of women.
Why do you persist in to support religion, which in most cases seeks to hold you back and to make (keep) you a inferior merchandise-class citizen? If this seems extreme, let me illustrate not with guile, but with fact.
There may have been earlier exposes but, for environment, I’ll start with two powerful American abolitionist and suffrage voices. Matilda Joslyn Gage, in her overweening, well-researched “Women, Church and State” (1893) said, “the very foot of that religion (Christianity) being the subordination of women in every relation of life,” and distinctly and directly shows how this applied in categories such as canon law, witchcraft, wives, polygamy, teaching, travail and others.
