| Some women are unhappy because most Western religions and in fact religion in general seems to be male dominated and controlled, which ended up pushing women down into subserveant roles.
But what is overlooked is that religions started off because of visions effected by what Staryboy would call "dream cookies" - aka mind altering substances (drugs) used during religious vision quests. Those brews, smokes, and mushrooms would cause a vision and that vision then became the foundation for religious concepts.
It was soon discovered by the pre-historic shamans that those "drugs" could have negative effects relative to child birthing, just like our modern research has indicated, which was not a problem for male users. So the women simply stopped taking part in those religious rituals. The men continued getting high so they could get a revelation and the women stayed low and did other more constructive things like "working".
After hundreds of generations passed, everyone forgot about the root reasons why men dominate leading roles in religion, and it's adaptation as a government.
I cannot post any linkpages about this because the idea came to me via remote viewing out of the Blue. But I could come up with web links about the use of such substances in pre-historic religion if so requested.
So, those are the facts.
