Not at all. Since the beginning of time, women have always had equal rights in keeping with their station in life. We were all created equall in the site of God and therefore have the same rights as every man, woman and child in the world. Unfortunatly, somehow, somewhere in time and over time some dill got it all wrong! And women still are reeling from that muck-up. If you really want to know, I suggest that you read the bible. Even if you are not a Christian it is truly worth the read. Who knows, you might even find answers to all those other'Burning Questions' I know you've got. Best Wishes & Ihope this helps.

it said that they are supposed to be submissive, and they are treated like property in the bible. women from the culture that created the bible had no rights, so of course the bible reflected that. they also had polygamous marriages, which is the ideal put forth in the bible, NOT one man, one woman, as is often purported. both the old and new testaments condone slavery. but we realize that these practices are just the way things were done back then, not a divine command. why to people have such a hard time understanding that the bible's negative treatment of women (commanding them to be submissive, etc.) is the same ancient nonsense?

No, man misinterpreted the bible and said thought that. Adam was standing next to eve when the snake was talking to her, were do you think he was in the garden, someplace else after being alone all that time, you think he wouldn't be by her side when the snake was talking to her, and he did nothing, and then blamed it all on him. Then Pastors took out of context what Paul said about women being silent in church, not knowing exactly what was going on at the time Paul said it, liek the fact that the women sat on one side of the church and the men on the other, so if a women wanted a question answered, she had to yell acrossed the church at her husband for an explanation and she had to be quite and ask her hsuband when they got home, there are other examples, but it would take up too much space, you need to read...

No, if you read the bible you see, women were used in a mighty way for God, Man made woman to haveno rights, not God. God is no respector of Persons. None,, If he was the whole book would be a lie.

Bible is fine, Torah is superb with the way women should be exalted. MAN decided to treat women like ****. We've come a long way, baby.

Rights aren't a very bronze age concept... niot only women but men have very few according to the bible, just that women have fewer.

To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." Genesis 3:16
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife. (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
"Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says." (1 Corinthians 14:34)
3:16 We have here the sentence past upon the woman; she is condemned to a state of sorrow and a state of subjection: proper punishments of a sin in which she had gratified her pleasure and her pride. She is here put into a state of sorrow; one particular of which only is instanced in, that in bringing forth children, but it includes all those impressions of grief and fear which the mind of that tender sex is most apt to receive, and all the common calamities which they are liable to. It is God that multiplies our sorrows, I will do it: God, as a righteous Judge, doth it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God as a tender Father doth it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from it.
-------She is here put into a state of subjection: the whole sex, which by creation was equal with man, is for sin made inferior.---------- Genesis 3:16

Yes. Read Genesis and Leviticus. Also, the Epistles are very big on women being under men.

MY goodness no! Women have lots of rights......They have the right be respected is most important of all. However, as a woman, we should understand that there is a headship arrangement that is in place and we should follow it. just like christ followed
