is that BECAUSE you feel threatened because of your proclivities?
Why would you be crying?
If it's untrue why would you care?
no, Fundamentalist religions of any stripe are more likely to abuse women. It's just true.
Certainly in the ancient world only a top ranked female, a Queen or equivalent, would be on equal footing with a man?
Some men with little power, and I mean EVERYWHERE, like to demean and "lord it over" their female possession.
It could be instinct?
