Critically Evaluating the Claim that All Religious Doctrines and Institutions Exercise Patriarchal Control Over Women

The patriarchal system which strictly evaluates the patriarchy of women in all religious teachings and institutions is a social system that systematically benefits men from women. Many feminists believe that religion is patriarchal. Teaching and practice from various religions shows that men benefit from women. To support this assertion, please refer to one of the religious books. For example, the Islamic Bible says that "women and their husbands have the same rights as all of them and men are higher than them."

Radical feminism argues that women's oppression arises from men's to women's power (patriarchal). They believe that men dominate women's body through male status in social institutions such as violence, objectivity and medicine and religion. The underlying feminist thinks that discrimination by gender is the oldest and most common form of oppression, and patriarchalism and elimination of compulsory heterosexuality are key to end gender repression. This is achieved by strengthening control over women's body, including sexual behavior, childbirth and childbirth changes, and elimination of patriarchal social relations.

Control and abuse women, create and sustain repression of women throughout the world. Men occupy an important decision-making position in all social, political and religious institutions that organize and control society. Through this institutional power, people will adopt laws to build culture, develop policies of interest, and give authority to control women in public and private fields. Spontaneous and involuntary acts that violate socially anthropogenic rules indicate women's pollution and immorality and bring disgrace to their families

Religion has played an important role in the Victorian patriarchal society. The sacred support of patriarchal hegemony in British religious field of the 19th century proved its popularity. Most women are often deprived of the opportunity to express themselves, patriarchal society thinks this is the only terrain of men. As Ruth Jenkins said, "The formation of Christianity in the system severely restricts or even denies (female) voices in the dialogue that forms the doctrine of theology" (16). In some cases, women have a say in a religious facility. These women can defeat men's control over religious affairs and participate in the trials of "immutable rational and religious principles" (Harman 20).
