Question

-Demonstrate how women lost prestige and influence and how misogyny increased when spirituality became institutionalized with religion. Specifically reference Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam in this discussion. What strategies are used by feminist adherents to deal with the misogyny of their respective religions?

Answer 1

Misogyny may be defined most often as a hatred of women, a number of hostile behaviors held and acted by men. Therefore, misogyny is most dangerous if people often use it as a weapon against a certain group of people (mostly women).It promotes a negative stereotyping of women's abilities and beliefs and a form of social exclusion. However, it goes beyond simply harming women through institutionalized sexual abuse , rape, domestic violence, violence against women's by men and a wide variety of other harms and abuses. There are two separate ways of conceptualizing misogyny. The first is through the lens of society as a whole. It involves personal choices and acts, which are equivalent to positive actions and favorable attitudes to the values , expectations and rights of the prevailing ideologies. Within this style, both discrimination and hierarchy are usually included and sometimes protected. Furthermore, the other mode of expression is more specifically related to what is known as a abuse against women discourse. This discourse is either directly or indirectly characterized by reasons for the anti-woman mentality.
Like other religions, as religion became institutionalized, Hinduism falls under Hindu faith as well as its traditions and beliefs. Islam, Christianity and Judaism began to collapse within their respective religions and also accepted the spirituality that represents their faith and that left hindu religion behind. However, women's have been battling to be "equal" to men, eliminating the individualistic side of religion, shifting the status quo of religion through political reforms, avoiding the forcible conversion into a new religion, and spreading this message to younger generations, emphasizing that their faith is not inherently sexist, and answering other issues in religious systems.
