Women. Religion’s longest running victims.
Here we are in civilized and enlightened societies and cultures in high tech times and we are not smart enough to recognize that the world will continue in strife as long as we men do not give women full equality as a minimum to what men should do towards the care of families.
I hope you are astute enough to see this. If you do nothing then you know not what duty to your family should be. The women in your family deserve to be first class citizens.
Men are maintaining God’s curse against women. He will rule over you.
Men. Christians, Catholics and Muslims. Free your women. It’s time. Man up.
Please.
Regards
DL

Huh?
Not sure that I understand your point. How should my religion "free" the women members? Or is this simply more exaggeration, generalization, spam and trolling?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

The countries that have prospered are the countries that have educated their women.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.

That would depend on how you define prosperity. If prosperity is a larger and better-educated workforce to create more material wealth, you're right. If prosperity is a better relationship with God, maybe not. Maybe the Taliban is aiming for a different kind of "prosperity" than you are.

I simply meant a safer, healthier environment for everyone regardless of any belief system.

Isn't that what the Taliban is after?

Only for those who agree with them.
AbE ..and certainly not for their women.

Well, of course - just like your idea of "prosperity" is only for people who agree with you.
What if God wants us to "keep women in their place", like some religions suggest, like the OP suggests? Wouldn't we be "more prosperous" by doing what God wants us to do?

What does the evidence say?
It seems pretty inconclusive. Some areas like UAE and Saudi Arabia seem very prosperous but others not so much.
But would it be any of our business anyway?
If certain cultures or religions decide to make women victims should we interfere to try to impose our belief system?

Men are maintaining God’s curse against women. He will rule over you.
I'm not sure what you are referring to, but as I understand it, God's curse against women is that they have to bear the pain of child birth. I have told my wife repeatedly that I would share her pain if it were allowed, but my offers usually result in some loose object in the room acquiring a velocity vector bringing it in the vicinity of my head.
As is usual, I expect your threads to go about a dozen or two posts without people discovering what your point is, and then to quietly end.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

It is impossible not to interfere. Simply existing and not following their example, particularly when we interact with their culture, is an interference.

I'm sorry but that just seems like a pointless assertion.

Yes. It is only right to help those in need.
