Where did it all begin: the degradation of women? Some contend that there was a time, a long, long time ago when Mother Earth and cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts women were revered; however, a pro-male mindset came in when cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts we substituted the powers of the sky out there over the cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts earth below us. But if we begin with the cornerstone of Western philosophy, Socrates, some 2,500 years ago, we see how we’ve managed to have the mindsets that we now have.
Socrates gets credit for saying, “Do you cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts know anything at all practiced among mankind in which the male sex is cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts not far better than the female.” Plato credits Socrates with that statement in his work, The Republic.
Let us not think that cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts only the West had such prejudices. Christianity really takes a back seat to cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts many other religions. Here’s a brief sample.
Sacred Hindu texts and traditions tell us, “Women are to be debarred from being competent students of Vedas.”
In Buddhism, the thinking is that if a person is reborn as a woman (reincarnation) it is because of one’s bad karma. Ouch! 
In the Muslim Koran a woman is regarded as “half man” and cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts inherently weaker in in rational judgment. To this day in many Muslim nations women must walk behind the cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts man, live to serve him, not able to dive a cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts car, vote, or do anything but cook and have kids.
Judaism taught men to pray, “Blessed be cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts the God who has not created me a heathen, slave, or cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts a woman.” Worse yet, or as bad, Talmudic writers proclaimed that it would be better to burn the words of the Torah than to entrust them to women.
Those are but a sampling of “godly religions” (?) around the globe. Tomorrow, I’ll begin the look at just our Judeo-Christian teachings which aren’t all that cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts much better. But thankfully, Jesus came to correct all that and cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts set women and all of mankind FREE! He needed to cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts in light of the following opinions of women by our early church fathers:
St. Thomas Aquinas said, “Women are but failed man.”
St. Jerome said, “Woman is cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts the gate of the devil, the way of evil, the sting of the cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts scorpion, in a word, a dangerous thing.”
And even Martin Luther said, “If women become tired, or cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts even die in child-birth that is why they are there as a cheap gucci and louis vuitton belts woman’s place is in the home”.
Isn’t it time we freed 50% of the world’s population?
