It's funny how so many women and young girls as yound as like 9 years old were persecuted and executed for having a knowledge of herbs and incite, even owning cats or other animals. So superstitious people were. Really it wasn't funny but sad because executions were in the tens of thousands if not more, and it probably was more. All from ignorance of healing properties of plants and what we would now called sciences. But of course women were evil and conspired with satan at that time.
Yes, hard to believe sometimes the things humans do to each other, and the deep mistrust that has existed at various times throughout history between women and men. Madness really.
One can only be thankful we are living in a reasonably more enlightened world today where such things are far less common.

Give good reasons why women should not hold positions of genuine power inside the Church. Why should a woman not lead the LDS church, for example? What actually makes that wrong?
Why would a woman want to lead the LDS church? Why shouldn't that duty belong to the men? I suppose you could call me submissive to the system of my church if you like, but it is only because...I would not want to call my mom Dad and my dad Mom. That's just stupid and immature to protest the duty given to those parents. Just as it's pointless to put women in a position that God delegated for a man.
You look at things the wrong way. You see me saying that some positions in the hierarchy of the church are for men...not women...and you see someone submissive and brainwashed. I'm just wondering why you find it sexist and submissive to be okay with the role of power given in the churches. Why is it wrong to obey God's commandments? God appointed men to those positions for a reason. Do we know the reason, yes and no. I don't exactly have personal conversations with Him asking Him why He does the things He does. God holds women in the highest respect, despite what you may believe.
It says somewhere in Genesis that when woman had been created that His work was complete. We were the crowning jewel in God's creation.

There is nothing in the 10 commandments about women. Otherwise I think most of Paul's writings are the ones that mentions subservient places for women. In the OT god appointed Priestesses. Paul goes against the word the OT god.
I think Paul was the Antichrist. After all, he was crucified up side down.

When they were going to crucify Peter, he said I'm not worthy to be crucified like my lord, crucify me upside down....If you look at what the Pope holds and some of the emblems they are upside down crosses since they feel Peter was the first pope, or the Rock that the church was built on.. 😉
That is why, when writing a story, you are not supposed to have two people with names that start with the same letter. 😱
