@SW-User It isnt a true story. It is Jewish folklore. But billions of people have read that and think, oh thats a womans place.

It says for the man to love his wife as much as he loves himself and to treat her as he would himself and care for her accordingly in the New testament. In Genesis(Old Testament) it states that God created man and woman and they were equal.
The bible is not one gigantic book but several books so it really depends on which passages or books you use or agree with.

@SW-User Well it is a huge collection of books, not just one big gigantic one. Lots of allegory, ancient history, and letters. People want to make it into one giant book and if it was, I'd agree that contradiction is a problem. But,since it is several small works, it would contradict itself how could it not? It would be like taking a bunch authors over centuries and putting all those works together and expecting them all to agree on everything and how everything works ...how would that work?

There are more misogynistic books.
The context of the books should be considered though. In case of religious texts in the Qur'an for example, they were dictated as solutions for problems the people at the time faced. And since times changed, the content is very much irrelevant. It is also very much inspired from the Bibles.

No. Men also are told not to do certain things to for many specific reasons.

@bijouxbroussard @bijouxbroussard I think the Bible is very understood. Many people don't know because they have a lack of knowledge. But it is very fair. Its fair because for every second that passes in a day you have the power of free will. The choices you make is what you should be held accountable for. Now this only changes when we fall victim to social constructs such as religion and politics. Then we find ourselves being trapped by a worldly system that is not actually of God. But of the enemy instead.

@Zonuss In a situation where you can use that free will to avoid organised religion it can be dismissed as a book of mythology, like other tomes. But when someone is using it to raise children misogynistic passages are often stressed, like the concept of women having to remain silent and submissive. Congregations may no longer [b]choose[/b] to follow those teachings, but the Bible text is still very clear about it.

@bijouxbroussard Absolutely correct!
