ZoeWisemanSun, Jun 22, 2008 Before today's traditional religions - Women were decision makers, goddesses, held jobs, ran the courts and supervised men and women. It wasn't until today's traditional religions that women became less equal. Men needed to take those powers away because they weren't benefitting from it. The only way to do it was to create a fictional god who wouldn't tolerate devotion to feminine deities. And how better to do this than to blame everything on Eve? LIllith was much cooler.
You are the one who brought up superiority.
Any woman toting the conservative religious values line is a subservient wench for her husband. Nothing more, nothing less. And these values will only be passed down to the children who will in turn act the same way. That isn't healthy.
