Emmm, this ain't sayin much for Womens Liberation does it. Or, not even for the right of a woman to choose. I always did think the Bible was for men, not women. Maybe thats why Catholics only have men priests too and some christian beliefs (since I live in the US) still keep their women more as servants than a contributing member of the family.

That is true I have read this. Though I believe and respect bible but I never find any verse in the bible showing rights and duties of a wife. Showing how much share she will get as per law and what are her rights from husband and family and what are her responsibilities to them.

Correctly said.
I wonder how religion could approve kidnapping, rape and prostitution. It only shows the ethics they had in those times!
