Bible Was Written By Men for Men -

I'm a politican, not a theologian, but the more I study the Bible, the more simply truths become obvious.
One is the role of women in our lives. It is limited.
It is clear the male authors of the Bible did not intend for women to read it. The readers were to be men.
Take the commandment, "thou shalt not covent they neighbor's..." It lists the ass, the man servant, the woman servant and then, tucked right in there with all those possessions is the neighbor's property called his "wife", or "wives".
There had to be good reason God would have the Bible written in this way. I hope women can appreciate their role as secondary to their men gives them the peace and satisfaction God intended for them.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.
