Personally, I've gotta go with the Bible on the equality of the sexes. There is none. Men are far superior. Completely.
The Jews are right to follow God and keep themselves separate, away from the women. And the founding fathers were right to keep women away from the voting booth.
Women gave us Bill Clinton...for which they'll never be forgiven.
I've never heard a soi-disant Christian refer to the Bible as some old textbook, but it's certainly no skin off my nose. As you appear unfamiliar with any of the Biblical quotations I gave, let me recommend you pick up the Bible someday (I believe it's available at major bookstores) and read it yourself.
But your little book neglected to mention the American Indians and their enslavement of women.
Yes, I just don't understand why the New Testament never got around to discussing the American Indians; I guess the Church Fathers weren't very well-traveled. Perhaps you should check out the sequel -- the Book of Mormon -- if you're that interested in Indians.
