It is striking that religions always want to regulate the behavior of women. “Sex vs. Religion” we could say shortened or “men against women”?

I think it is a case of men vs women and men’s need to objectify and submit women to show who is the more powerful.

Why is it that varied religions seem to preach peace and love and yet most wars are fought over religion?

Wasn’t religion invented to control people, and control female sexuality specifically? Why else do you think it has existed for so long? Surely, you didn’t fall for the “praising god” lie?

We freethinkers kid ourselves about self-control – hence Hobbes Leviathan.I think it has something to do with the means of ownership and (re)production!!

In countries like Canada the younger generation of women who come from “restrictive” religious backgrounds are finding it difficult to balance ideology and freedom of choice – many of them are opting out. We shall see what this brings….

As an Iranian man said to me yesterday, the burkha is “pre-historic.” He fought as a soldier in that long war against Iraq . . . with not much choice in the matter.

Sadly also society (patriarcal societies, like mexican), not only religion or religious societies.

Mexican society has what we call “double moral” (or in other words, hypocrisy) in respect to woman’s sexuality, and of course man has faultless role in this double moral.
