I know that the post was especially trying to make a commentary about Christianity, and many people in the comments picked up that same opinion without understanding the complete inaccuracy, so I will explain each claim and the inaccuracies in them
God creates a man, later creates a woman so the man isn't bored
• boredom is not listed as a reason at all
"The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'" (Genesis 2:18)
The phrase here in Hebrew is עֵ֖זֶר כְּנֶגְדּֽוֹ which is more akin to a life-sustaining kind of help, an equal partner, or someone who is strong where the other is weak. This is not subordinate at all. That phrase describes women as being necessary, integral, and equal to men
All humans are called sons of God
• Often the Bible uses "τέκνα" meaning children, not sons or daughters specifically, it is a neuter word
"But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become τέκνα of God" (John 1:12)
"See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called τέκνα of God; and so we are" (1 John 3:1)
"The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are τέκνα of God" (Romans 8:16)
The only female figures are wives or mothers of male prophets
• Mary Magdalene was not a wife or mother and was a follower of Jesus, who travelled with Him
• Priscilla, while mentioned with her husband, and often placing her name before his, was praised for being a wise woman and teacher of the Gospel
• Ruth has a whole book written regarding her life. Her marriage is only mentioned to show the relevance of her Jewishness despite being Moabite
These are just three of the women who are not just mothers or wives in the Bible
Women are listed among the properties of men
• There are a very few number of verses which mention wives in a list of "properties" but it is not equating those women to being literally property like a house or cattle. We do the same in English. "*My* house", "*my* car", "*my* phone", "*my* husband". There is a single word for possession and that carries over into people like husbands, wives, friends, mothers, cousins, anyone. In Deuteronomy 5:21, the wife is separated from the properties:
"You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Women are advised not only to accept their status, but to take pride in it, since their inferiority is a part of God's plan
• Women are not inferior. The Bible teaches that women and men are equal, as shown in verses like:
"So God created mankind in His own image. Male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27)
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ." (Galatians 3:28, this especially shows the lack of division and the full equality among all of us Christians)
"Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit." (Acts 2:17-18)
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." (Ephesians 5:21)
All religious leaders are male
• This is true. Priests are to be men. Deacons should also be men. This doesn't mean that women are not valued, however. As shown above, women and men are equals under Christ in God's sight. Here are a few verses as well to consider, which show that women can also be called to be teachers and evangelists:
"Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time." (Judges 4:4)
"He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” (Acts 18:26)
...and they teach men how to treat their wives - how to dress them in order to hide their body from men
• There is no Biblical commandment to men for how to dress your wife. There are commandments *to women* on how they should dress themselves.
"I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God" (1 Timothy 2:9-10)
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." (1 Peter 3:4)
• Both of these verses are centered on dressing in a modest and humble attire, and emphasising the beauty of the heart and soul more than the outward appearance. Neither of these are bad things. On top of that, men are also called to an attitude of modesty and humility.
...how beat them properly
• At no point does Christianity condone beating your wife. In fact, the complete opposite is commanded. Here are a few of the ways the Bible requires you treat your wife:
• be willing to sacrifice your life for her
• treat her with kindness
• nourish and cherish her
(Ephesians 5:25-28, 1 Peter 3:7, Colossians 3:19, 1 Peter 3:7, 1 Timothy 5:8)
