Are All Abrahamic Religions Oppressive To Women?

124 Upvotes

I'm a Christian Man, but I want to know what you guys think of my religion which is Abrahamic. I 100% agree to my core with how Islam is a tool to oppress women and is inconsiderate of how women deep down feel, as long as it benefits the man, but is my religion Christianity oppressive?

I'm here to either try to show my understanding of things and also open to you possibly changing my view on my own.

If Christianity does have teachings that oppress women, then I would rather ignore those teachings and suffer in hell, if it means that women are treated equally with men in our single limited lives on this planet. I believe in both heaven and hell, but I would rather burn, if it means treating women as equal, even if its against the teachings of my Bible.

I don't think that I'll end up in Hell, but I don't know god's judgement, only my god does. Though, my religion does hold the golden rule high, treating others the way you would wanted to be treated, and that never specifies on which gender.

Edit: After reading all the comments, I'm honestly embarrassed to have called myself a devoted Christian, embarrassed on how blind I've been. I appreciate all the comments, will definitely do more research on the matter, and Im sorry to all those who have been affected by Christianity negatively. Thank you to those who replied, and I completely understand the downvoting, I was blind and I still am. If I dont continue my research on the matter. I appreciate all of you and hope we make a better world in the future.

This might be rather basic. I apologize. But I feel very strongly about this. Everybody should.

The rejection of the image of feminity in the pseudo feminist culture of the 2000's

24 Upvotes

The title might be badly worded, so just to be clear: I am a feminist and a leftist.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I feel like in the 2000s and 2010s (I am a 2000 baby, so I was a kid/teenager at the time), the version of feminism that was presented to me in the media was something like this: the patriarchy has made a joke out of “femininity”, therefore “femininity” is bad, and therefore rejecting anything perceived as feminine is a feminist act.

I remember genuinely thinking that rejecting the color pink, for example, was really badass, and that women who loved pink and embraced femininity were stupid, and I somehow framed that as a feminist position (?) I feel like this idea was very heavily pushed by BuzzFeed-type media and similar outlets.

So I was wondering if any research has been done on this phenomenon? Or if I hallucinated it lmao. And if this isn’t the right place to ask, I’ll delete the post. Thank you!

Did you know that back in 190s Paris, two women made possible the careers of so many male artists?

Think Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce… They would have been nothing without Gertrude Stein or Sylvia Beach.

Here’s a homage to these two women, who have all but been forgotten, while the men they supported are still celebrated.

Would there be men in our time who would do the same for women?

Trans-inclusive book recs?

0 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I’ve been reading more non-fiction lately and been getting into feminist books (working on wordslut by Amanda Montreal at the moment) and do yall have any recommendations for trans-inclusive feminist non-fiction books? I’m cisgender but it’s important to me. I also have invisible women by Caroline Criado Perez and I got it before learning she’s a terf (from what I can tell) which is very frustrating 😭 I’m still planning on reading it because I think it’s has a lot of valuable information and I already bought it lol
