The bible is not against Womens rights:

Opening NotesMany thanks to my opponent for beginning this debate.1. The resolution is presumably about equal rights for women. However in this discussion, I will contend that the Bible denies some basic rights for women as well.2. The Bible includes both the Old and New testaments. Both the Old and New testaments contest women's rights. The Right to Self-OwnershipThe most basic human right is the right to self-ownership. This refers to the concept of property in one's own person; in other words the idea that you own and have sovereignty over yourself [1]. However the Bible suggests that a wife is her husband's property: You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Exodus 20:17Further, the Bible condones daughters being bought and sold, i.e. being treated like chattel and becoming another person's tangible property: If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. Exodus 21:7 Even worse, a raped daughter can be sold to her rapist: If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. Deuteronomy 22:28-29 As you can see, women have no say in whom they marry or divorce. An additional sign of women as property is that collecting wives and sex slaves was considered a sign of status: He [Solomon] had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 1 Kings 11:3Moreover, the Bible says that a woman's word is not binding unless her father/husband agrees on her behalf. Men have total say over women's vows; women are not considered autonomous beings who have the right to make binding covenants with other persons: A woman’s vow is meaningless unless approved by her husband or father. But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself. Numbers 30:12-16The Right to Bodily AutonomySadly, many verses in the Bible also reject a woman's right to control her own physical person.It is repeated that women are to remain virgins and non-virgins are dirty and full of sin. This supposes that women's bodies exist for the pleasure and utility of man, since a man's value is not based on their sexual engagements whereas a woman's value is. This means that men are free to make sexual decisions about their bodies largely without strong consequence, whereas women are not only shamed but often killed for having sex: Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. Numbers 31:17-18 Additionally, Deuteronomy 22:22 condones stoning women (not men) for adultery, though there are plenty of double standards to choose from. The Bible goes so far as to say that "used brides" deserve death, thus the Bible does not respect the most inherent right to all people - the right to life: If, however the charge is true and no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. Deuteronomy 22:20-21. Another example is: And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. Leviticus 21:9Verses like Judges 19:24-25 promote raping women, and sadly so do Numbers 31:7-18, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Deuteronomy 22:28-29, Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Samuel 12:11-14, Deuteronomy 21:10-14, Judges 5:30, Exodus 21:7-11, Zechariah 14:1-2 and more. That's at least 10 verses completely neglecting a woman's right to govern her own body! Women as Servants / Submissive / InferiorInnumerable quotes throughout the Bible posit that women are to be submissive servants to men. This is because they are inherently inferior according to Scripture. Corinthians 11:2-10 notes that women are created for men, and therefore women have to cover their head whereas men do not. Men are described as being "the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man." The verse goes on to say that woman came from man and thus men are superior.The Bible constantly commands female submission. Timothy 2:11-12 says, "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." Colossians 3:18 also tells wives to submit to their husbands, as does Ephesians 5:22-24, Corinthians 14:34-36, Corinthians 1:11-3, Genesis 3:16, Isaiah 3:12, Titus 2:4-5, Peter 3:1, etc. In many of these verses, women are described not only as inferior to man, but commanded to be his slave. Thus women surely do not have equal rights or arguably many/any rights at all according to the Bible.Women are Inherently Dirty or More SinfulWomen are repeatedly blamed for "the fall of man" because the Devil allegedly tempted Eve, leading to the creation of sin for all mankind. Apparently Adam's submission to Eve's temptation is irrelevant; women are forever to blame for sin according to Biblical literalists. Ecclesians 25 emphasizes blaming all women for humanity's downfall. Perhaps that is why women's bodies are shamed throughout the Good Book. For example, the Bible describes childbearing as a form of atonement. Matthew 24:19 and other verses mention that pregnancy is a punishment. Levitivus 12:1-8, Psalms 51:3-5 and more suggest that women who give birth must be isolated so as to not contaminate others, and pay priests to make them less unclean. Worse, the Bible claims that women are automatically twice as unclean if birthing a girl vs. birthing a boy. This proves that being "unclean" isn't just a physical description but a spiritual one as well, which is explained in Leviticus 15:19-30. Not surprisingly, menstruating women are repeatedly condemned throughout the Bible (despite this natural occurrence of womanhood that allows for procreation), specifically in Leviticus though in many other Books also. In fact sex in itself for women is described as shameful and dirty. This can be seen in Revelation 14:3-4, Galatians and Ephesians. ConclusionThe Bible consistently degrades motherhood, marriage, female sexuality and women's reproductive functions. In addition to repeating that women are inherently dirty and inferior to men, the most basic fundamental human rights to self-ownership and bodily autonomy are not acknowledged for women in the Bible. This is seen across the Old and New testaments, and cannot be misinterpreted as symbolic. Both the literal and figurative interpretations of Scripture negate women's rights.
