This is just crazy.
Judging from my own experiences, my mom was the one worked, raised us, and yes I lived in a household with a dad who not only drank but didn't work. My mom finally divorced him and took care of us single handedly and did a great job I think. My sister is going through the same stuff with her husband, he doesn't work, drinks and isn't great with taking care of the kids. I just cannot even fathom women being "lower" than men or a woman being that of a child.
You'll have to excuse me but this just makes me angry like so many other excuses I've seen for the abuse of women even in this culture. But a culture that actually believes in a fallic argument about women. Now I know how a black guy would feel if he were to go on a forum and see the same opinions given to him back in the day of slavery.
Aye, it's sad really isn't it? Personally I believe it's the desperate attempts of mysogynistic societies trying to retain their power over Women culturally. Infusing such mysogyny into religion only makes it 10x worse, since it seems you're never allowed to criticize religion.
Oddly enough though from what I've seen on RF atleast, a lot of the supporters of this stuff are themselves female! It's like a bizarre willfull submission.
