its just that orginally men and women had different roles, but now that we can do anything men still want to keep us in our original roles because we had to be submissive before and listen to them. but in the bible the man has to be so loving to his wife, like how jesus loved his people. even though we had to submit, the man has to be loving enough.

Probably in Pre-history. Sexism against men was pretty a done deal back then. Have you not seen those little Fertaily Goddess figures? Some how the coin flipped and discrimination against women today!

If you believe in evolution, it was way long before humans actually existed as humans. Apes of various kinds display sexism.
Just an opinion here, but since men have dominated women over thousands of years, it has most likely had a retarding effect upon our growth and discovery of things that could help us survive as a species. It has basically cut out the possibility of the creative input of half of the humans on earth.
And I'll also have to say that it was not only the Bible, but other books and laws of cultures all over the world that kept women down. The Asian cultures oppress women just as much as the Judeo/Christian/Muslim cultures have.

It is directly tied into the origins of private property and the accumulation of wealth.
Check out "Origin of the Family, Private Property, and teh State" for a good detailed account that is not too hard to understand.

It all started in the biblical ages, but really, how much of it is real?
Men "think" they are in charge and many women let men "think" they are in charge, but in the end, who is really in charge?
Jeff Foxworthy said it best..."If you have a wife, a mother, a sister, or an aunt you ARE being trained....and just because they aren't using a cattle prod don't mean it ain't happening!"
LOL!

It started with Adam and Eve. And it still goes on to some extent today.

men have penis'. women have penis envy says Frued.
men have always been the dominant, therefore women can't possibly be better than men.
