I'm pretty sure the hair thingy happened only once... anyway, the rest of the bible seems dead against prostitution. And the early church had female leaders.
And wasn't there a female pope at some stage? I heard she managed to keep her gender a secret for ages, until the day she went into labour at an inconvenenient moment...

😒Mary Magdalene was considered a prostitute right? I think it was her, but whatever, I mean the ladies who washed the mens' feet and then dried them with their hair..........
Hey, at least you spelled her name right. She probally was a ho. Jesus hung out with some pretty interesting people.

about prostitution:
Lev 19:29
"Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness."
Deu 23:17
"There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel."
You want to know what the Bible thinks of women???? 🙂

It's called being brainwashed into following the norm of your society.
Lil Bitchiness> Most religions as it is. In straight Buddhism a woman has to be reborn as a MAN before she can reach Nirvana. Islam, Judaism is just as bad.
I think only ancient Greek/Roman/Norse religions left places for feisty women with a will of their own.
Ahh… the good old days.
Actually... I don't know the precise reason why only MEN can be catholic priests. But Dave123 probably has a point.

the more stricter Catholics don't allow women to speak in church, either 😬 and the disciple thing is true, I looked at in school 😖mart:
We have some weird women at our Church who opposed the decision to have a female vicar, and who won't talk in Church. I guess the mail macho must have had too much momentum to topple in a few centuries, and even now is still sprouting up.

Judaism isn't quite as bad as Islam and Christianity. Orthodox Judaism, yes, but in the more modern forms, I think women are fairly equal. I know of a female rabbi or two around here.
But you're right about "pagan" religions having a decent place for women. In some ancient pagan nature-worshipping type religion, women were considered sacred, being able to bear children and such.
