Christianity worked very hard to eradicate goddess worship, to reinforce the idea of patriarchal society, and to keep women in line and "in their place." On the whole, I think they got the short end of the stick with it.

The Bible said a woman committed the original sin, which is why during the Middle Ages when everyone was fanatically Christian, there was so much misogyny.

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord...Husbands, love your wives, even as christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it...So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church...For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh..."
