common oppression of women from all patriarchal religions:
male deity instead of female
origin story demonizes a female sin for which all women now have to be punished
achivements, creation and labour done by women discredited from them instead credited to a male deity
women regarded as second class citizens, incapable of religious leadership, decision making or being independent from a male
women put into the role of servitude/follower/helper/owned by husband
women instructed to act submissive to m*n
women instructed to center m*n in their life instead of their personal happiness/career/independence/safety
inexperience in sex depicted as desirable or even necessary trait in women while disregarded for males
women heavily encouraged to marry despite the rates of domestic violence and abuse
women instructed their place is at home to be mothers, caretakers, servants, cooks, cleaners, all in one workers, while never expecting payment, putting them at double risk of isolation and financial abuse
women being told to follow their husband's 'leadership' but still blamed for his every action of harm, infidelity, assault, violence, abuse etc
women encouraged to have as many children as possible despite their own well being put at risk
women encouraged to accept marital rape as normal
women and female children scrutinized for their appearance, with assumption of sexual provocation
women shamed, held responsible and punished for m*n looking at them sexually
women pushed into life-changing measures to evade sexualization and assault (covering up, dressing modestly, undergarments) but still blamed if m*n do it anyway
women told they 'control' m*n with their appearance/body even when those m*n are attacking and harming them
women heavily scrutinized for any sexual desire or behaviour while m*n are told it's natural and women's fault anyway
women responsible for any kind of sexual harassment, objectification or assault done by m*n
protection and enabling of male sexual predators to the point of it being commonly known most pedophiles are high up in the church, some religions forcing victims to marry their rapists
heavily religious comnunities having the highest rate of childhood sexual abuse and refusing to stop or report it
gay, lesbian and bisexual people deemed 'unnatural', 'sick', 'wrong' and subjected to abuse that leads them into hiding or suicide
pressing gay/lesbian people to try to be attracted to the opposite sex and even marry into it, ensuring suffering to both spouses
the movement of feminism villinized and blamed for everything percieved to be wrong (women wanting agency, human rights and protection from abuse)
sacrifice and obedience promoted as the ideal female act of dedication while m*n are encouraged to get what they want from women
deep seated victim blaming when the religion doesn't seem to work out (you didn't believe enough, didn't pray enough, weren't righteous enough, weren't patient enough, don't understand that god works in mysterious ways)(all the ways end up oppressing women, mysteriously)
