Because of this, however, men have, though the love of preeminence and pride, lowered the woman on the scale of things and made her less than man. As Christians, we look many times to the men of old who wrote and taught in the early churches, and we trust them, we re-teach their philosphies, and we embrace their theology. You can find some high praise of Adam in the commentaries. She was more easily led astray and weaker in resistance. The world has come along way in the last century, but we still have so far yet to go.
Mohammedan countries treat women in despicable ways.
They cover them up completely blaming them for the lusts of men. In Jewish culture, the women were never allowed to touch the Torah for they were considered unclean. Men and boys alone could study the Torah. A synagogue could not be established until 10 men were present. There could be 100 women, but without men it was not permitted.
