Is there religious suppression of women because God gave only men a free will?

Question

The Bible says, "God gave Man a free will" with no mention of Women. It's apparent that some religions are taking advantage of this, accorsing to religiously suppressed Woman.

Answer 1

Which culture or race mentioned about women in the past?

England? American? How do they call human race? Mankind. Why no womenkind?

What do they call the one that enforce the law? Policeman. Women cannot be a Police?

What do they call those who sail? Seaman. Women cannnot sail?

Are those societies also suppressing women? Just because people do not use 'womenkind' etc?

Are you ok? Or are you trying to dig for bones in hard boils egg?

Answer 2

If you are talking about Islam than you are wrong. Islam gives women more rights than any other religion. Men in Islam are taught to respect women and don't beat their women like some Christian men treat their women. Mothers are highly honored in Islam.

Answer 4

God didnt give freewill. Women are suppressed in the name of religion because ignorant people blindly believe a myth.

Answer 5

*blink* I don't recall the Bible saying that only men have free will.

man: a member of the species Homo sapiens or all the members of this species collectively, without regard to sex

If some take it to mean that "man" means something other than a human being then they're going to misogynistic extremes.

Answer 6

There is religious suppression of women because men wrote all the religious texts.

Answer 7

The god of the Bible is a misogynist. It has carried over into those who follow it.

Answer 8

It is true that few religions do mistreat women but not really.

Islam is the first religion to give the freedom of speech to Women. Islam in the first to give the right of inheritance to women, right of express her opinion is social issues, participate in the war if needed.

Holy Qura'n (The last revelation of God)(religious book of Muslims) has an entire Chapter "Nisa" (Women) in which God is commanding us to know the rights of women.

chapter (4) verse 1, Allah says: “Be careful of your duty towards God in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and towards the wombs (that bare you). Lo! God hath been a Watcher over you.”

9:71 God says in the Qur’an: “And the believers, men and women, are protecting friends one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, wise.”

God didn’t say that men are the protector of women but instead he showed the equality by saying that both are protecting friends of each other. Islam is the only religion that gave the rights to women to take part in social and political life in the community and also Islam especially protects the honorable women.

He gave glad tidings to men and women on the same time but not only to men, verse 33:35:
“Lo! men who surrender unto God, & women who surrender, & men who believe & women who believe, & men who obey & women who obey, & men who speak the truth & women who speak the truth, & men who persevere (in righteousness) & women who persevere, & men who are humble & women who are humble, & men who give alms & women who give alms, & &men who fast & women who fast, & men who guard their modesty & women who guard (their modesty), & men who remember God much & women who remember God hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.”

The first wife of Prophet Muhammad was a businesswomen, his another wife “Aisha” had a vast knowledge about the rules of Islam, science and philosophy, after Holy Prophet, the companions of Prophet Muhammad used to come to her for the solution of their problems. She led the army during civil war among Muslims, and used to preach Islam to the women of her community in her house.

Christianity teaches us that Eve was the one who misled Adam to eat the prohibited fruit and thus women is a cult.
BUT ISLAM TEACHES US:
7:20 “Then began Satan whisper suggestion to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said: “ Your Lord only forbade you this tree lest you should become angels or such beings as live for ever.”
7:21 “And he swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.”
7:22 … when they tasted of the tree …
These verses in short clearly say that it was not the cause of the Women (Eve) that Men (Adam) was deceived but at the same time both disobeyed the command of God.

The saying of Prophet Muhammad unmistakably shows how to respect the women. He said to his companions: “The best person among you is the one who is best towards his wife.”

Prophet Muhammad said: “Every Muslim male and female has obligation to get education.”

Qura'n clearly says: And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women. (2:226)

"Treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers."
From the last sermon of Prophet Mohammed

LEARN THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN ISLAM AND YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED.
