[QUOTE]Originally posted by Snoozin: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sonomod: [qb] But if it was a submission to GOd why aren't men required to cover their head in the same format? Why aren't men required to cover their hair, ears, and neck? If women are truly equal in the eyes of God besides men, why aren't the requirements of what to cover the same. Even in ancient Hebrew times men weren't required to cover themselves like women. And somehow the Hebrews considered [b]not only submission to God, but also submission to men. [/b] Thats what freaks me out. It just leaves me wondering if God considers women thee source of evil, while men not women don't have to behave or think in a civilized manner because they are naturally less civilized than women. Meaning less capable of self-control than women. I often wonder why in polytheist societies why its so patriachal/misgonist. Why women have to submit to men so often (save artic indigenous peoples, like the Sami)and how come monotheists decided to mimic this sentiment. I think its just so insane that monotheism is supposed to treat the genders as equal but ends up just mimic the patriachal nature of polytheism. [/qb][/QUOTE]My own speculation is that religion comes to us in a form that we are at least somewhat familiar with....so that it is easier for us to comply. Things told to us by God through prophets are in accordance with our abilities at the time to understand them. Which is why I think we see a lot of cultural practices incorporated into different religions. But you bring up a really interesting point. Why, throughout history, are women quite often treated poorly by men? Treated as property throughout much of recorded history? Is it merely because we are generally physically weaker than men? What divine or sociological reason is there for that? [/QB][/QUOTE]
