Quotes tagged “Sexism in Religion”

“The canon and civil law; church and state; priests and legislators; all political parties and religious denominations have alike taught that woman was made after man, of man, and for man, an inferior being, subject to man. Creeds, codes, Scriptures and statutes, are all based on this idea. The fashions, forms, ceremonies and customs of society, church ordinances and discipline all grow out of this idea.”
— Elizabeth Cady Stanton, The Woman's Bible: A Classic Feminist Perspective
