Interestingly, when I was in Jerusalem, by the Wailing Wall, there were
Jewish men in long black robes publicly thanking God for (among other
things), not making them women/female. Our travel guide explained their
prayers--- translated into English for our benefit. That they were born from
women (mothers) seemed to have escaped them!

Folks,
If anyone knows of a religion that treats women as
equals, please let me know :-)
