I am not a Christian, but I have studied the values and beliefs of various religions/cultures. I was just wondering (directed to the Christians), if you can advocate the obedience of all the doctrines of the bible, what do you think of the doctrine that womyn are property and inferior to men. Do you believe that a womyn is created for the carrying of offspring and servicing of men (and could this be connected to attempts to deny abortion rights)? Justify your postions. I'm insatiably curious.
Thanks in advance

The New Roman Catholics bible does say that the very birth of a girl is a "total loss". It also says her father can rape her, he can sell her into slavery, and that a father can have childen with his own daughters. Widows are passed around like property if their husband died without a son and his brothers rape her unitl she produces one. Jesus himself in the bible considers the best of men to be those who have never been with women and have stayed far from women. I'm a muslim woman, and contrary to popular stereotype, islamically, women can do just as much as the men.

since I have never seen a womyn I can't rightly say if they are inferior. Who's the manufacturer so I can do the research.
Now Women that I can talk about.
Inferior no, Superior no
Both men and women have areas they are better suited at such as.
Men: single focus, brute strength, endurance
Women: Multi-tasking, higher pain threshold, better image recognition (ask a woman to pick her child out of a crowd of similarly dressed children)
Property? no, I don't think so, Property is something that can't think for itself.
The doctrine that women were created for men was just to justify the policies that came into play.
A man produces millions of sperm, this is called a redundant feature, kind of the shot gun effect.
A woman normally only produces one fertile egg at a time.
In nature it is possible, extremely rare, for a female to have a baby without a man it makes it more likely that it was mans job, there are always more women than men, to service woman to keep the species going. In nature it is usually the woman who chooses who she will mate with, not the other way around.

Women and men are just different. They both are created to be in communion with God. As for women giving birth to offspring, I think there is no doubt about that, but this is not their "purpose", because it is said that there is no difference between male and female:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Epistle to Galatians 3:28)
The anti-abortion position is grounded on the right to live that the human being has, even from the moment of conception. It is supported by women as well as by men.

baloney. there are some who may think this but if one looks at things a little differently the ladies are the ones who brought wisdom and knowledge into the world or we still would be running around without knowing anything. each gender has certain duties which need to be done by them alone. neither is more important than the other as it takes both to make a whole.

A woman who has strength of character doesn't care what other people think she should be.
Please re-think using womyn/womyn instead of woman/women. It's an insult to the English language, and, besides, there is no clear distinction between singular and plural.

In Islam women are equal to men and have rights equal and what is appropriate for them. I can't say anything about Christians though.

No I do not believe that women are inferior at all. However, women are created for carrying children, men don't have the parts to carry children. And yes we were created to have sex with men, our bodies fit together. And none of this has anything to do with thinking abortion is wrong, I consider abortion to be murder.

Its spelled "women", and it does not say that woman are to be "property" to men. The bible states that we are to serve our husbands, however they in return must take care of us and love and respect us. It is a give and take situation. Do more research, you'd be amazing of what you'll find., THE TRUTH!

The word is spelled "woman".
And no they are not property.
And yes, in some things they are inferior. And in some things they are superior.
