I said that most Religion is bad news for women. In my 61 years on the planet I have seen more bad than good from it for women. Yes, some denominations supported the 19th Amendment.

"WHAT-ABOUT" patriarchy existing before recorded religion? In what way does that absolve the huge numbers of Christians in the US of fighting against human rights every day?
