Having said all of that, I came across an article by Jimmy Carter who announced that he was pulling away from the Southern Baptist Convention. If there is an ugly side to religion, this — the discrimination against and oppression of females — is certainly a big part of that.
IMO, this is why our economic system is set up the way it is, where “women’s work” officially has little to no monetary value, leading to women’s lack of political or social power.
