In the world today has religion played a big part on how we view the women in our society? Has it been for the better or for the worse? In my own personal opinion religion has been making women inferior to that of a man. They have women as the child-bearer, wife and caretaker. While men are seen as the strong who will go out and work to keep the family safe. Different religions have their own different ways of viewing women as well. In some religions women are not allowed to show more than just their eyes or else they would be prosecuted.
This video here shows you some of the ways women are oppressed in religion.
In my own life I attempt to view everyone as equal. There may be times where I may sound like I am putting down women, but it is among my friends and I and the women in my group know i am joking around. The way I view things is that as long as you treat me with respect and kindness you will receive that same treatment from me. I don't deny that religion has affected me in the slightest amount, but that is just me being kind and helping out if needed.
