That within Islam, Christianity and Judaism, there are varying...yet undeniable degrees of blatent misogyny and contempt for women all throughout the religious texts and teachings?
There is not a man alive that was not born from a woman. There is not a woman alive that has born a child, that did not nourish it from her life force and physical body for so many months until his birth. Such a contribution to life and humanity from the woman, and yet, I see references to women as "dogs", or "like" dogs, in Islam and Christianity.
Does this strike you as improper, disrespectful and cruel in any way?
How do you feel knowing that this stance of looking at the female as a "lesser" creature is well documented in every one of these beliefs, in some way?
Please note, I am not criticizing your beliefs, I am merely pointing out the obvious. If it is not too much to ask, how do you justify your participation in such a belief with little regard for you as a female?
