1 Corinthians 11:6 KJV: For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1 Corinthians 11:6 ASV: For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veil Bible says woman is bitter than death because she is woman. Ecclesiastes 7:26 says: All Christian women are bitter than death. O Christian women are you really bitter than death.?
Ecclesiastes 7:26 KJV: And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth G

Perhaps you should read ALL of 1 Corinthians 11, as I did. All that it says is that if a woman has long hair, it's as though her head was covered. Therefore, she doesn't HAVE to cover her head while praying.
Read it and weep:
Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
1 Corinthians 11:13-16

As for Ecclesiastes, it is not talking about EVERY woman. What it's saying is that a WICKED woman will ensnare a sinner, but a man who fears God won't fall for her.
Ecclesiastes 7:26
I find more bitter than death
the woman who is a snare,
whose heart is a trap
and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
but the sinner she will ensnare.

Ecclesiastes doesn't mention Christian women. And actually, women are still equal to man according to the Bible. Sure, it says that wives are supposed to submit to their husbands, but ONLY if their husbands are godly men, and ONLY if their husbands love, honor, and respect them.
If Islam SO respects their women, why are so many Muslim women beaten by their husbands? Why are so many Muslim women BEATED and STONED when someone rapes them? Why is only the WOMAN held accountable for adultery or fornication, and not the man? Why are societies bound by Sharia law so BARBARIC? You answer me that.
I have two copies of the Koran, and I have much respect for Muslims, don't get me wrong. But there is NO excuse for a Muslim trying to say that Christianity doesn't treat their women with respect.
I AM a woman, and I have experienced NOTHING but respect from most Christians I've met, and in most churches I've attended, thank you very much.

How many times are you going to ask this question? You are trying to imply that the Bible persecutes women. God doesn't want Christian women to shave their heads. It was customary for women to wear veils during that time. Paul said any unveiled woman with short hair was like a woman with her head shaved. The verse is not meant to be taken literally. You don't force a woman to shave her head because she is not wearing a veil. How can you be so ignorant?

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. -- Numbers 31:15-18
Colossians 3:18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
There is all kinds of juicy little tidbits to read...yet they whine all the time that Islam is unfair to women.

Let's not forget this little tidbit also:

1 Corinthians 14:34-35

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.
35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

Cause the men that wrote that feared and hated women and incorporated into their culture.
Same as the men who wrote the Quran and want women to cover their heads and be subservient to men.
