The Persecution of Women in the Church

[ILG]

There are three subjects going on here and they seem to be crossing ways.

1. Abuse of women by sexual and physical abuse.

2. Blatant oppression of women.

3. Subtle oppression of women by tradition.

Most in the church are not experiencing 1 or 2. Some are. No one will deny this needs to be dealt with when it exists. It's number three that people argue whether it exists or not for the most part.

Thanks.

When one person says "Women are sometimes sexually abused in the church!!"

And the next quotes that and says "Women are not oppressed just because they can't wear pants!!"

One wonders if anyone is listening.

Isn't that the truth!
