Intro: For all religions, each gender has a certain role in some way. Usually being that men would have the higher role of being in charge. My question is to study why women are always being given the role to simply follow and obey. Plus, due to these given roles many men have abused their high power and have used it to abuse and ridicule women in unjustified and sexist ways. In this brochure, you will read why women have been given such low status in the world and why nothing is being done about it. 

  **//"According to the Confucian structure of society, women were to occupy a position lower than men. Most Confucians accepted the subservience of women to men as natural and proper."// **  The study of Confucian contained the roles that women were to have lower status and roles than men.Women were only might to survive as being who were to live in a world were men were the dominant gender. And even today many people mostly many women believe that this the way the world should be like. During this study the woman's roles hasn't gotten higher or lower since the creation of this religion and states the following are the greatest duties a woman to do:   **//"A woman's duty is not to control or take charge" "A woman's greatest duty is to create a son"   // ** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: left;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">In this religion woman can't be seen and heard doing something that is most advanced and huger than a man's status it is seen and disobeying God and creating even more problems for the world to endure. It's because of these neo-Confucius quotes that the term "sexist" is here today. This religion is highly into the doubts of what a women can really do once they put their minds to it. And takes the roles of a women to small. Even though we are mention to be worshiped as mothers and mother-in-laws. We are rarely recognized as a high role. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">In the religion of Christianity the women is more appreciated than in Confucianism. Though our roles isn't nearly as great as the men. In this religion it is said that woman were created from the man to be in god image. Instead of being created like the man, shaped and molded into God's image. Woman were simply plucked out of a man's ribs and created to be ruled over by the men. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: left;">//**(Genesis 1:27) "So God created man in his own image,"**// <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">Here in this quote from the bible, God created man in the image of himself. Not woman, not woman and man, just man. So right there is the first example to men having the higher role over us. They were created first, the first gender of the world according to this quote. Man's rule over the world wasn't done there,because not only were they the first gender but they got the privileged to be left in charge of the world, naming the animals, even being chosen to have a partner to keep and rule over. <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: left;">**//(Genesis 2:27)"She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (Genesis 3:16)"Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."//** <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;">So related to this text because woman were created from man, its is declared that woman are basically own by men. Which is a sexist terms but is stated in many religions including this. As stated in the second quote from Genesis 3:16, woman are to desire their husband and he should rule over them. Also because we were not made in the exact image of God but more along the lines of being made in the image of men instead of God. Which could cause even more right for men to have greater roles and control over women.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">A woman's status isn't as low as the statuses in Islam but not nearly as great as other religions. Women are still consider inferior to others, in this religion woman are even forced to dress under garments to cover almost every part of their bodies except for their eyes unlike the men. But the only true status that a woman can easily obtain is them role of a mother.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: left;">//**"A man asked the Prophet: 'Whom should I honor most?' The Prophet replied: 'Your mother'. 'And who comes next?' asked the man. The Prophet replied: 'Your mother'. 'And who comes next?' asked the man. The Prophet replied: 'Your mother!'. 'And who comes next?' asked the man. The Prophet replied: 'Your father'"**// <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> In this quotes it is seen that being a mother will give you a higher status is that area over a man. But unfortunately that is the main roles woman are allowed to obtain, because many people especially ignore this quote because they feel women will tried to raise their roles higher than men. So they push this aside so women won't feel like they are worth anything. But it is true that many women can over come this injustice as stated in the following: "<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">//**Saima Muhammad used to dissolve into tears every evening. A round-faced woman with thick black hair tucked into a head scarf, Saima had barely a rupee, and her deadbeat husband was unemployed and not particularly employable. He was frustrated and angry, and he coped by beating Saima each afternoon. Their house was falling apart, and Saima had to send her young daughter to live with an aunt, because there wasn’t enough food to go around."**// <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> A woman's life was a terrible wreck all because she was a women and the worst part for this practical woman was that because she couldn't even produce a baby boy, her entire family thought she was worthless. Women barely have any status in Islam or any religion in general. But many women don't let this keep them down like Saima. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**//"She exudes self-confidence as she offers a grand tour of her home and work area, ostentatiously showing off the television and the new plumbing. She doesn’t even pretend to be subordinate to her husband. He spends his days mostly loafing around, occasionally helping with the work but always having to accept orders from his wife.//** " <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;"> Final Thoughts: Just by reading this quote its possible that women can easily raise they status is any religion. Even those who don't even own a religion are being prosecuted today and this will continued until something is finally done about this. Women are too human being and they must work hard to prove those wrong who thing that women are just hear for man's purposes. We are here for our own purposes and we can easily show them if we work together to over power the man's higher status.
