If i hear another 'oh but XYZ religion is feminist and empowers women' I'm gonna crash out.
The idea of feminism and religion walking hand in hand is no different than a bird defending it's cage because it's warm. A religion talking about respecting women for their ability to give birth and be a mother, or glorifying their 'nurturing' capabilities is not empowering.
If it really was that empowering, then women wouldn't be banned from having a right to the leader position in religious institutions
And it's always the same argument 'oh but that's not religion's fault that's culture, they're totally different'. Mf the entire society uses your religion as a reason to make those 'cultural decisions'.
You will always find an old man citing religious text to depend why it's not wrong to oppress women, but when do you find a women using a religious text/ teaching to defend her argument??
IF any religion really was feminist in idea, then women would be happiest in places where religion extremism was the norm. Just to be clear my opinion is created after watching atleast 3 religious group's women make this claim. The only one their trying to convince us themselves.
