I just don't get what you're saying?

I F****** beg your pardon?
Paganism views women as lower than the men? ...and you have the audacity to use MY religion, Asatru, as an example? That's the biggest load of BS I have read on here in awhile. You don't know jack about Asatru if you think that! I can tell you this much, in Asatru women are more aggressive and independent than in most other faiths. Norse women were never known for being submissive. In Asatru, women do not only have equal rights with men, they are considered to have a better contact with the Gods than men. In Norse mythology there are equally powerful Goddesses and Gods. In the Asatru creation myth women and men were created at the same time from two trees, the man from an oak and the woman from an elm, and they are therefore of equal worth.
Take your misogyny and go back to your middle eastern religion buster, we don't want you.

Claiming that Paganism in "feminine" is to only look at a small segment of it. Some certainly is, others aren't. Likewise, some are more male-dominated, but most aren't.
That said, I'd never claim that women are lower than men - because not only would the Celtic and Asatru women make me regret it, but I'd have to follow it with a little chat with a particular goddess who's not known for mercy towards those who've pissed her off. Thanks, but no thanks - I'm just going to stay content over here and state that men and women are equal, thankyouverymuch.

I was under the impression that Pagans/Wiccans held their fertility gods higher than anything else?
This makes a lot of sense. I dont understand why the Christian god is often said as being male, and why Jesus was male, when it is the female who is capable of such such a marvelous feat as harbouring a new life.

You just prove my idea that there are jack@sses in every kind of faith. You're not wiccan or pagan. Then why do you care? Troll.

Fluffy Bunny has been changed so much over the years it means nothing now....
From http://www.cuew.org/archives/003296.html
The definition of fluffy bunny [in the past] was simple- those who believe stuff despite mountains of evidence to the contrary and are nasty and bitter to those who disagree with them.
Fluffy Bunny is now used as a term of social control by authoritarian pseudotraditionalists... and is used to refer to members of traditions they dislike, members of their own traditions (or those they pretend to) who they disagree with, people new to Wicca and, in short, anyone not bitter and nasty to people.
