You tell me how an abused wife is going to go to her husband and telling him what she needs ... I am not saying that all husbands are like that. We can be just as demanding. What I’ve been referring to is how religions treat us as second class citizens ....

Abused? Who said anything about abused? You are now claiming that every friend of yours is an abused woman? That seems statistically unlikely as all hell. If ALL of your friends are married to abusive men, then all of your friend have major issues that go way beyond their choices of men. You never said anything to me about abuse.

No. That would be a separate issue. You can’t say your friends have lazy or inattentive husbands and then turn that laziness into abuse of women. There’s a hell of a difference between a husband who is into himself and man who beats or verbally abuses his wife.

Also, religions don’t have citizens. Countries do. Religions have FOLLOWERS, DISCIPLES, ADHERENTS, DEVOTEES, etc. Not citizens. FOLLOWERS. And the leaders of religions - by definition - treat all the followers differently than they treat the other leaders. You do it too. You treat your passangers differently than you treat your co-pilot. The co-pilot is a fellow leader. He has rights and duties and authorities that the passangers do not have.

Very simple. The words are: “Buh-bye.” The visual is the door slamming behind her as she leaves.
