It has made me very quiet, submissive and obedient. I never give an opinion and like to remain in the background during all social events. I bow to men and know that they are correct in every situation. I would never go against the advice of a man as I have learned that they are superior to women in every way.
Other than that, not much!

FISH-O
Greetings Poppy;
Every person is his or her own 'person' according to the path of human kind. We take what we need and grow as we should, or not.
"What is in it for me?", is a concept.
Human beings should learn from history. Unfortunately, we tend to be slow learners.
Fish of the day... Yay!
Have a glorious day!

There are many strong, influential, and resourceful women who made a huge difference in history, specifically Bible history, which you are as free to disregard as I am to believe.
My faith gives me a "standard" for my behavior, a sense of right and wrong, whether I attain that standard or not.
It gives me hope, security, humility, and comfort.

Religion has done a lot of good. I try to live by the religious principles that my mom and dad taught us in the Christian (Baptist & Lutheran) Churches we attended. However, after studying history I see that many many many people, including women, have been used abused and exploited and destroyed utilizing religious teachings, by aggressive greedy and takeover people. My suggestion is "Don't be a fool. Use the tools that God gave you . . . your brain."

Some passages from the Qu'ran:
Sura 4:5 A male shall inherit twice as much as a female.......... Your wives shall inherit one quarter of your estate if you die childless.
If any of your women commit a lewd act , call in four witnesses from among yourselves against them: if they testify to their guilt confine them to their houses till death overtakes them or till God finds another way for them.
Sura 4:176 If a woman dies childless her brother shall be the sole heir.
Sura 4:34 Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom your fear disobedience, admonish them. forsake them in beds apart and beat them.
Enough?

Women Shall Not Speak
“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
Women’s Sorrow
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” (Genesis 3:16)
Comment
Not only does the Woman get blamed for the Fall, but God decides to multiply her sorrow, plus, she must submit to her husband like a slave.
Rip Up Pregnant Women
“Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” (Hosea 13:16)
“Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman.” (Eccles. 25:13)
“Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.” (Eccles. 25:22)
Wives, Submit Yourselves!
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:22-24)
Wife Like Slaves ?
Stone The Woman!
“If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;” (Deuteronomy 22:22)
“Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:24)
Silence The Woman!
“Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” (I Timothy 2:11-14)
Cut Off Her Hand!
“When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.” (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)
Female Births Get Penalty
“Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.” (Leviticus 12:2)
“But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.” (Leviticus 12:5)
wow What Great Double Standard !
Raping And Killing
“Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.” (Isaiah 13:15-16)

Religion is tied to politics and 'people-control' because it assumes that we are all so stupid and uneducated that we must be 'controlled' with fear-mongering and threat of demise but the fact of the matter is ... we're all gonna die! Maybe not today but someday....
The biblical allusion that woman [was supposedly] created from a man's rib and is therefore subservient, is one that was extracted by the patriarchal [and prehistoric] movement as a way to really 'hold your mother down!'
Sadly, a more scientific approach was not considered... like that of DNA manipulation! It stands to reason that if 'mankind' can manipulate DNA... then why not 'God[s]?

Now, that DNA thing could be how 'God' created woman... perhaps DNA was taken from Adam's rib...then manipulated. I would not be surprised! ;)

Women have advantages that most men do not understand. Women are treated well in most cultures. Abuse of women brings covert revenge to men, generally... as an effective method of turf-war. And if a man is hostile, there are various forms of ingest-able toxins to influence behavior and side-line dealmaking that offers an unlimited range of options. Women can adjust their personal freedom and wealth over a much wider range than men by applying reasonable restraint and one-up-man ship in their choices. I found women's stealth in managing their own lives and all those about them, so cunning and organized that I could see how men blind-side themselves and proclaim their ranking on the stupidity scale of unworthiness shocking and pathetically naive.
What has religion done for women?.....Have done to others as you would yourself. Thanks Mom.
