It annoys me that the three religions of ‘the book’ – Islam, Christianity and Judaism all still operate on an unfair patriarchal philosophy that is thousands of years old. While they’re not all bad (in fact, they’re a lot good), these religions variously exclude women from positions of power, issue onerous behavioural edicts which place the responsibility of men’s poor behaviour onto the shoulders of women and emphasise the glories of men over and above those of women – even now.
