Mr_Anony: Oh don't mind me...I think I read more meaning than intended into your illustration. |

Mr_Anony:estimate: Excuse you. But you are talking about equality in a system of "nuns"? That is the most discriminant that can serve as an example! If we assume that a creed is separate men from women, only on grounds of sex ... this is a religion utterly discriminatory. The priests are preparing for the priesthood, the nuns never be priests say Mass, to communicate ... Why? simply for being women. It is not here to mark exceptions: cases exepcional but generalities. Let's see: in Catholicism there is a woman priest? There is the possibility of a female pope? Beyond that some fools do it is right that there is a woman pastor? A woman can teach Torah in Jewish worship? My respects |

Ptolomeus: Well, I don't quite think I get where you are getting at but the point I was making to emofine is that the status of women in polytheist societies isn't much different from the status of women in monotheist societies. I can't see a direct link between the type of theism practiced and gender equality. I am not arguing on whether any type is particularly oppressive to women or not. The example of nuns was used within this context. Please do well to understand what the talk is about before butting in. Thanks |

Mr_Anony:Dear friend. I'm not ramming, if so understood you, I apologize. I am speaking of religious structures, rather than the social. I do not think the religious structure of society is reflected strongly in the social. For example (and no offense) Islam, Christianity and Judaism are monotheistic, but social structures are very different among the three. As for what happens in a polytheistic society ... (in terms of social, not religious) is very difficult to assess. I think overall polytheism goddess gives the degree of any woman, and that could have an impact on the social ... but that's part of a course ... My previous comments concerned the asituaciĆ³n of women from the religious point of view. I send a warm hug, and I reiterate that I am not butting .... |
