In a contentious exchange on r/OpenChristian, users delved into the pervasive patriarchal themes found in biblical narratives. Referencing Genesis 3:16-19, one user pointed out that the belief that women should be subservient to men, is a consequence of sin. They contended that Jesus' crucifixion symbolizes the defeat of this curse, advocating fervently for the embrace of feminism and mutual respect among all genders. One person felt comforted by a story from Genesis, seeing it as a reminder that men and women should support each other equally. But then, another idea came up. Someone suggested that Genesis 3 doesn't actually say men should be in charge of women. Instead, it talks about how everyone faces tough times. They thought maybe the idea of men being in control came from cultural influence, rather than from the Bible. This discussion shows how complex things can be when we look at stories from the Bible and how society views gender roles. The Bible is full of stories that if written today would be considered misogynistic. Modern religion (Christian, Jewish, Muslim and others) is still dominated by patriarchal language and traditions (some still not allowing women in some areas of leadership).. As we celebrate Women's History Month, it's important to think about how people have used stories from the Bible to oppress ans suppress women. By questioning these stories and standing up for equality, we make the case that all people have sacred value and discrimination based on gender is wrong.
