If religion is supposedly so liberating then why so many strict rules?

@JSul3 define equal.

@hippyjoe1955 Equal as human beings with the same rights.

@JSul3 such as?

@JSul3 so if a religion has a rite or ritual where there is a different role for men and women is that a denial of rights?

@hippyjoe1955 There should be no different role....period.... I do not follow ridiculous 'rites' or 'rituals.'

@hippyjoe1955

The US Constitution does not guarantee women the same rights and protections as men. To the surprise of many, it contains no explicit protection against discrimination on the basis of sex.
Ongoing struggles include ensuring equal economic opportunities, educational equity, and an end to gender-based violence. Women still make just 78 cents for every dollar earned by men. Black women earn only 64 cents and Latina women earn only 54 cents for each dollar earned by white men.

@JSul3 Your feminism is a joke. There is no wage disparity. It is always a matter of choice, My wife over her lifetime will never earn as much money as me. She chose to stay home and raise children. Which of us by our career added more value to this world? She did.

@hippyjoe1955 You are fortunate that your wife was able to stay home and raise your children. Not every family is as fortunate, and in many cases, the woman is the sole breadwinner. To this day women make less than men for the same job. That is fact.

Your self-righteousness is always on display with every comment you make.

@JSul3 Your ignorance of such matters is based on government stats not the real world. Women do not earn less money because they are women. They earn less money because they choose time off to have children and lower paying jobs. I was on a job site one day and there was two spools of wire that needed to be taken upstairs. The spools were quite heavy so two men put a rod through the center hole of the spool and carried the first spool upstairs without stopping. A few moments later 4 young women put a rod through the center hole of hte remaining spool and began carrying it upstairs. they had to stop multiple times to rest and reposition. So if you were to look at the unites of work. Let us say that carrying those spools was worth $100,00. each. So the 2 guys would have earned $50.00 each for 5 minutes of work. The 4 women would have earned $25.00 each for 15 minutes of work. So in reality is it fair that the women would make $40.00 an hour just as the men when they are not doing the same amount of work in the same time period?
