Anonymous said:Even the Christian Bible isn't immune to this disdain for women, even if those old practices have mostly been left in the dust since the clergy lost their grip on everything.
"1. If a woman does not cover herself, let her cut her hair; but if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved, let her cover herself.
2. A man should not cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man."
1 Corinthians 11
Man... 🙂 such a little troublemaker...
1. Right before that quote, it actually says:
Every man who prays or prophesies with an uncovered head dishonors his head. Likewise, every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head.
So, this whole thing is specifically about how people behave DURING PRAYER AND PROPHESYING.
2. And then, further down in the passage:
But in the Lord, neither is woman without man, nor man without woman; for as woman is from man, so also man exists because of woman; and all things are from God.
