Sirach 26:9-10. "The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty."
"For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach." (Sirach 42:13-14)

Real power lies in the hands of those who write history and create the mythos upon which a society is based. In Biblical times this was the priesthood. They and the scribes they trained were the only literate members of society. The easiest way to keep people (women and slaves) in their place is to say that God ordained it that way and then produce a book to prove it. No matter how inspired the authors were or by what source, the information had to filter through their minds and personalities. The Bible was written by men immersed in an ancient patriarchal culture. They all had agendas, whether it was keeping the social order, unifying doctrine, eliminating heresy or gaining converts. After studying it for years I've concluded that it's a pretty transparent piece of propaganda. What I do value in the Bible is the story of Christ's life and teachings. I think He knew how misinterpreted and manipulated words can become and therefore lived in a way that would allow us to follow in His footsteps regardless of what anyone wrote about Him. The links below objectively detail the origins of the Bible (1 & 2) as well as the inconsistencies and inaccuracies (3)

That's not from the Bible, it's from an apocryphal book.
Neither Jesus nor the apostles ever quoted from the Apocrypha. There are over 260 quotations of the Old Testament in the New Testament, and not one of them is from these books.
The Jews did not include the Apocrypha in their Scriptures either.
For that reason the Apocrypha are not considered to be authentic scripture and are of historic and cultural interest only.

"O People who Believe! Men must not ridicule other men for it could be that the ridiculed are better than the mockers, nor must the women ridicule other women for the ridiculed women may be better than the mockers; and do not insult one another, nor assign evil nicknames; how base it is to be called a sinner after being a Muslim! And whoever does not repent - then it is they who are unjust."
[Hujurat 49:11]
And I think in your Q&A alot of people has pointed out to you Sirach is not part of the bible.
You are an outright Muslim preacher liar to pretend to be a student of the Holy Bible in other Q&A.

Sirach is part of the apocrypha, and what are you talking about? Red light zones?
