Most of what we consider decent emerged from women's struggle for rights, and from men's reluctant but sincere acceptance of those rights. It was not Christianity or Judaism that led to these rights, but the Enlightenment and modern views of ethics and morality.

Amen. <g>

Partially true, but wives had legal rights before the Enlightenment. Just a couple: Under the Roman system, wives had the right to own property. Under the Jewish system, wives had the right to regular sexual intercourse. From time to time and from place to place, women's economic power was great enough for us to win legal power, like today, in this country, and some others. Although God help us women if the Southern Baptist Conference ran the country.
