Answer: Because they are "Patriarchal", and it's not just in religions that these things are happening...it's all over this planet! Woman (the second human) was a PRECIOUS GIFT from our Creator to man (the first human); but man was a gift to no one...maybe he's jealous just like Cane (the first born) was jealous of Able (the second born)! This is a man's world, and look what men have done to it! Frankly, if things were reversed (i.e. men having to stay at home...controlled they way they control women) then the world would be a much better place. Women are the nurturers, care givers, more loving half of our species having tender affection. When food is given to men, they sell it for drugs or alcohol; when food is given to the women, everyone eats! A true Matriarchal world would end famines, wars, child brides, slavery, female circumcision, gang violence, lack of health care, homelessness; and so much more! Women are the center of the family, the one's who bring culture and grace to society, the ones's who teach etiquette; women are valuable beyond measure. Like Jimi Hendrix sang, "This is a man's world, but it would be noting, nothing without a woman or a little girl." WOMEN ARE, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, THE GLUE THAT HOLDS IT ALL TOGETHER! Women are closer to the source (Our Creator) because be bring forth and sustain life. This MAN'S WORLD needs to start recognizing and showing some respect and gratitude for the Precious Gift of women!
