The primary point of religion is to control women.

So women can wear whatever they want to? Cut their hair? Wear pants? Go without a burka in the middle east? Have multiple husbands like men can have multiple wives as the bible says? Completely accurate and totally true. Look at the Amish or pentecostals for example, the women have to keep their hair hidden, because "the glory of a woman is her hair" and wear a dress and be "submissive and obedient" according to Paul. That is some serious r/freeUse and r/bdsm (nsfw) being propagated by the church allowing women to suffer duress at the hands of their husbands and a lot of times not being able to speak out. Religion has been used since before the council of nicea to control the masses, and their female property. (In biblical times a good woman was rated just underneath a cow, or maybe slightly less than two goats) Why else would the book of Enoch be thrown out of the Canon and Moses's book of hearsay called Genesis be the accepted creation story even though Enoch was sitting on Adam's knee and Moses was 2,000 years later? Because it did not fit. Moses's book was written by a slave master, voiced by a slave mother, and the laws of the rest of the Torah follow the master/slave mentality. For the most part the levitical laws that are used to torture people today are mostly about sanitary reasons, having a hoard of people cross the desert, with barely enough water to drink there would not have been enough for personal cleaning. Yet according to Leviticus women were supposed to be locked away for their week so they wouldn't get the good clean men dirty. Women to this day are still treated like they are going to get the good clean men dirty. They must submit obey and comply according to the church. They're not allowed to teach. According to most religions the only point of a good woman is to produce a good son.

I truly feel sorry for the women and daughters of religious men. They deserve to be treated better. And it is the duty of society and groups like this one to speak out for the underprivileged and mistreated.
