Women To Remain Silent?

“As in all the churches, the women are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.” 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 What part of this do you not understand? Just curious.

Why anyone would think silencing women is a good idea. Their perspective, knowledge and experience can bring value to a discussion. I think many of these types of rules were created because a man was once made to look a fool and he didn't know how to hand his woman.

@SlaveEt Because men are more solid and women lean more toward hysterics and emotion. The writers of the Bible, had that in mind.

I will concede that in general women are more likely to express their emotions and do tend to be more emotional (gotta love hormone swings!). However, considering the female population makes up about half of the human population it seems unwise to have shut down half of the intellect, creativity, problem solving and ideas. But then, humans do not always do the wise or good thing. History is proof of that.

Remind me: Is it men or women who have started almost every war in recorded history?🤔
What is the percentage of perpetrators of violent crime when broken down into men and women?
lol rather hysterical and emotional, if you ask me.

Men wanted women silent because it's easier to control a person when you take away their voice.
Simple as that.
It's the same reason the Taliban are trying to prevent women from getting education.
It's control, not because women are inherently less capable, thoughtful or reliable.

Or do you think the Taliban are on to something?
