Yes, in many spiritual traditions, woman are supposed to "keep their place";
And that attitude has been so extreme, in some cultures; Past and present; Those women were burned alive in public; Women were stoned to death in Ancient Judah; Women are routinely abused in the Islamic Nations; On and on we see, the deep rooted hatred of woman; In all cultures. And out culture is no exception; Especially when it comes to sex. Men always feel, that they have to compete; With other men, for women. So, the whole system of capitalism; Is built on the natural tendency; For men to compete with other men; For territorial rights; As well as rites of sexual intercourse. Then if a man in our culture; Feels humiliated by a woman; As some woman have made humiliation; Into an artform; Then the man must appeal to other men; In the tribal group; For 'reassurance' Avoiding the trap, of all traps; Trying as you might, to have the last word; With a woman; Is a losing game.
