Whether one is talking Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, there are millions of people who would deny, on religious grounds, the equality of men and women. Fortunately, that seems to be changing a bit.<BR/><BR/>Oh, Amuirin, there you go again! The only person who agrees with you is Jesus -- and what did he know?
