There is a Gender based Caste system in the US and other places even today
Advertisements [?]
It may be hard to believe, but many parts in the world still follow a caste system. And, one of these places is the US, and the Christian Right wants to make this caste system even stronger.

The caste system works like this.

Men
|
Women

It's that plain and simple.

It explains everything.

It's why things like cross-dressing and other things are so bad to people in the Christian Right. When leaders say it's bad they are really saying "Men want to degrade themselves down to women" or "That woman is trying to get out of her caste! How evil!"

It's why women don't get as much money as men, they are on a lower caste level.

It's why people like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell say women are inferior, because women are on a lower caste level. It's also why people in the Christian Right are so opposed to Feminist groups, because they try to bring women out of their low caste level.

It's why abortion is bad. If men still had the role of Bread Maker/Warrior, but they were the ones who had babies, it was just women who impregnated them (a biological impossibility), men could still have an abortion and be regarded as moral. And, there have been numerous instances where a man got a woman pregnant, and then ordered and paid for her abortion, and even after that the man was regarded to be morally pure.

Let us all eliminate this caste system that should not exist in a Democracy.
