Comments on: Why is there a perception that the more Orthodox a religion is, the less involved women are? http://www.thewoodcross.org/wordpress/uncategorized/why-is-there-a-perception-that-the-more-orthodox-a-religion-is-the-less-involved-women-are Catholic & Orthodox discussion Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:39:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ithina APJ PHAA A-AM P-VT LOMLTS http://www.thewoodcross.org/wordpress/uncategorized/why-is-there-a-perception-that-the-more-orthodox-a-religion-is-the-less-involved-women-are/comment-page-1#comment-4055 Ithina APJ PHAA A-AM P-VT LOMLTS Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:41:59 +0000 http://www.thewoodcross.org/wordpress/7/why-is-there-a-perception-that-the-more-orthodox-a-religion-is-the-less-involved-women-are#comment-4055 I thought women had a more prominent role in Judaism? The orthodox-like people in my religion would be the Recons. Women are just as involved as the men. Women have different roles, like Seidr, but they are by no means less involved. Traditionally the man of the house was in charge of most religious rites, but I know a lot of recons who have females in charge. The Troth isn't recon, but I'm sure there are recon members, and the person in charge right now is Patty. She's a really fun lady ^_^.<br><b>References : </b><br>Norse Heathen I thought women had a more prominent role in Judaism?

Men are the deacons and priests and bishops, but the women have their own roles.

I think it is just the modern mindset that traditional roles of women are subordinate and oppressive, when they really are not. Each served a vital role in the survival of the family unit and the community. In fact, anthropologists are now calling first man "gatherer hunters" instead of "hunter gatherers" because it was actually the gathering of food by women that kept people fed. The food acquired by hunting expended about the same amount of calories gained by the hunt, so the ratio was 1:1. Gathering on the other hand, took significantly less calories to do than it collected in food. From there, the role of women evolved as agriculture and industry found their ways into man's life. These roles also adapted to religious beliefs and practices.<br><b>References : </b><br> I guess I qualify, if Theravada Buddhism could be considered orthodox… I think it is just the modern mindset that traditional roles of women are subordinate and oppressive, when they really are not.
