NO I don't. Look at the rape law in Deu.
A woman is told to fight and to scream. Where else in the world do you hear this kind of argument? That was very enlightened for it's time.
Women, you have the power to fight back and to make it stop. you have so much power, in fact, if you don't try, we'll punish you.
It doesn't look that way at first, but when you compare it to women (won't say the age or the nationality) saying that when men grab at them here, they don't say anything for fear that men will kill them. OH MY GOD!!!!! Now, that is oppression.
Anyway, I don't understand everything about the Bible and women, but I've seen the effect that "christian" countries (or at the very least countries that uphold christian ideals) has done for the rights of women. And I've seen how it compares with the rest of the world.
I thank God for Christianity and for Christian men (who really are dedicated to following Him).

Yes I agree. Christianity teaches that humans come in two species, male and female. It teaches that in marriage means one MAN and one WOMAN, opposite sexes can enter into marriages only. It teaches clear gender distinction, without any of the modern day confusion of gender-blending ideas.

Historically is the Church that raised the woman equal to man and suppressed the slavery in the four first centuries after the birth of Christ.

Did Jesus or his Apostles follow a religion called Christianity? Who were the first 'Christians' ? Who founded Christianity and do the teachings of Christianity conform to the teachings of Jesus?
The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.

I disagree..
Sex before marriage is defined as fornication..
Same sex union is considered an abomination AND
No sex is considered as virginity.
However, God created sex to be between a man and a woman (married persons) in order to procreate and/or for the enjoyment of souls and the ideals of making love..
Sex is beautiful..but in no way is.. Christianity a sexist religion.
Define yourself and why you do you think this?

Yes, in most faiths women can't "lead men." The NT says "women ought to keep silence in the churches"

Yes. The Bible says that women aren't allowed to speak in church.

Yep..it's rather obvious if people would actually read their Bibles.
