Jesus and feminism.
Let's remember that Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit (in some convoluted trinity that nobody can explain coherently) . And Jesus was with God "from the beginning". so let's see what they really think about women.
Should be interesting..

In Genesis 2, God creates women as an afterthought, despite creating all animals male and female. None of the female animals is created as a help-mate(if you chose to go with the most popular translation) to the males. They are all created equal. Except eve.
In Genesis chapter 3, God punishes Eve, and all women for thousands of years, with greatly increased pain during childbirth. Adam of course is spared this punishment or anything even close to it. He's basically just punished with farming.. 
Forgot to add, that there isn't a female member of the almighty trinity (except you're Catholic of course, then maybe Mary can intercede to Lord Jesus on your behalf) other than that decisions are made by the big guy, the little guy and the bird guy. Perfect
As my brother @deezer234 just reminded me, there are no female angels either. Seems something isn't right up there. Too many men. are we missing something
Let me just skip to my favorite parts. I won't bother posting commentary, the verses are pretty self explanatory. Let's see what other gems we can find in the good book
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."Â (Leviticus 21:9)
"When men strive together one with another, & the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, & putteth forth her hand, & taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."Â Deut25:11-12
No comment
There are no female priests, disciples, elders etc. Menstruating women are not allowed in the temple, there is no "woman after gods heart" it's almost like woman are a necessary inconvenience and are just there to be used as men and God please
God/jesus/the Holy dove also approve of taking virgin girls as sex slaves. God will Smite you for conducting a census, but is cool with you taking virgins as prisoners and doing with them as you please.
Numbers 31. God is so cool with this. This is a reoccurring theme throughout the old testament. Sack a town, kill every man boy and non Virgin girl. Take the virgins as slaves. No smiting will come upon you
Still numbers 31. God is so cool with this, that he even takes a share of the Virgins. Wow. Moses and Eleazar have a sweet racket going on here.. 16000 virgins. For the Lord. Hallelujah
I'll just skip the old testament, I'm sure you get a general idea of how God felt about women at that time. Also God is unchanging, but let's forget that, and assume he changed, how does the new testament view our lovely Co Travellers on this journey called life?
Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."Â 1 Tim 2:11-14
The writer of first Timothy kindly reminds us that women are to blame for all the shit we go through. So they should kindly take several seats. Because I'm friends with @Daunted14 @cynnerr @damijulius and Co. I have to say I kinda agree with him
But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ & the head of the woman is the man& the head of Christ is God 1Cor 11:3
"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man."Â I Cor 11:8-9
"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man."Â I Cor 11:8-9
Bros j himself has something to add. It's OK for men to divorce their wives for adultery, but can women do the same...... *crickets*
Bros Luke in chapter 2.
2:23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
What of the female children who open the womb? Doesn't the Lord call them holy.?
.Again *crickets*

In John 20 Jesus tells Mary not to touch him, as though that will somehow defile his holiness. But it's Ok for Thomas to stick fingers in his holes
Anyhoo I'm tired, I think you guys get the point. The Bible is a man's book, written by men, for men, always had been, always will be. No anyone telling you to ground your feminism in Jesus obviously hasn't read the book. That thing doesn't have a feminist bone it its body
The book repeatedly portrays women as inherently unworthy, unclean even from birth, incapable of making decisions without a man's say so, sub human, etc. Made for men, made for men.
Dear feminists the Bible is not your friend. It can't be. It hates you. Preaches against you.

You are exactly the kind of woman it disparages at every turn. Unsubmissive, stubborn, refusing to bow down and accept the God given authority of men over you. How can you find your strength in such a book? Have you ever read the whole thing? Read it for Christ's sake.
Anyway I'm done. Heineken calls to me. Enjoy your Sunday. If any one has any further questions, my dms are open.
(p.s I wouldn't even bother doing a thread about Islam and feminism. Anybody that thinks the two are in anyway compatible needs to be in an asylum)
