God isn't with us at this moment so let's not necessarily take the literal word of a bunch of guys writing on sheepskin under a hot dessert sun probably smoking hashish and sacrificing the occasional goat or lamb to appease The Almighty and feed the clan for some sort of celebration. Here's to God Almighty. Pass the humus over here and some fig pudding.
The idea that men are going to sit in parliaments or congresses, or synods and legislate and promulgate rules as to what women are going to do with their bodies, is seminal idiocy.
One half of the human race, on God's word, is going to force men's will on a woman's body.
That's good for gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and the like. But Homo Sapiens? Then it's bullshit.
Don't tell my daughter what to do with her genitals.
How would you punish her? Stone her to death?
Disembowel her? Circumcision?
Would you mutilate a woman because that is God's will?
Do you have more than a note from your Pastor,
Father, Monk, Rabbi, Ayatollah, Grand Mufti, or some such God Tripper doing God's directly appointed will?
When you advocate the denigration of women, you become a feral animal, a barbarian.
Women are human beings.
And your penis doesn't make you God.
Pass me a lamb chop and some sacramental wine.
Not the Rose, I prefer Zinfandel with mutton.
