No. All religions disparage women. We’re second class citizens when it comes to them. We have to be submissive and do what we’re told. We have no real voice ... have the babies, make dinner, clean up and shut up ... and be available whenever the men want us ... 24/7 .....

If that’s true, why are women perpetuating religion? Almost every religion has higher attendance and participation rates for women.

Flipside is that men are commanded to love, protect, and honor their wives as well as provide for them.
That’s not as easy as it sounds, honestly.

Do what I do, when big bad men try to make me like that, I beat them up, it has always worked for me, I guess if I couldn't defend myself I would get into the habit of submission or at least avoiding rough places where the police couldn't protect me but so far my method has worked successfully, you should try it, it even works in biker bars.

The Catholic Church doesn’t.

“We’re second class citizens when it comes to them. We have to be submissive and do what we’re told.”

Told by whom? Don’t all believers in a religion have to listen to those in authority in that religion?

“We have no real voice ...”

How much voice do laypeople (male or female) get in religions usually?

“have the babies, make dinner, clean up and shut up ... and be available whenever the men want us ... 24/7 .....”

You don’t belong here. You are clearly to angry, bitter, insecure, and feminist to be a conservative woman. Conservative women are proud of how God made them, not ashamed of babies or having them, cook but also get their husbands to cook by marrying a conservative and not a wuss, and are available to their husbands when they can be because they love them.

Aren’t you late for the 1970s bra burning or something? Gee, I sure hope you don’t slip on that kitchen floor in your bare feet.

Oh, pul-leeze. What rock have you been under for the last, oh, say 40 years? All the church asks is that BOTH partners be open to life. After that, it's up to both parties to the marriage to be equal partners — sometimes switching roles, sometimes doing both. I don't know of any mainline Christian religion that espouses the bologna you're talking about.

Sounds like you want to blame someone else for the poor choice(s) you've made.

Even a religion which salutes a woman as the greatest of all God's creations and the Queen of Heaven?

Mulieris Dignitatem ("On the Dignity of Woman"), John Paul II

and be available whenever the men want us ... 24/7 .....

Please read up on John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Your statements could not possibly be further from the truth, at least with regard to Catholicism.
