Woman and Religious Tradition

In this article, we evaluate women's traditional parallelism by comparing common beliefs and practices of Hinduism, Confucianism, and Muslim. I will focus on the commonalities of men's very dominant traditional religious practices. As Yang said, "Male domination in the world religion (called patriarchy) is a movement that involves almost all religions, trying to release women from religious structures that are considered repressive "I said," I lit the fire. " The movement also caused resistance from traditionalists who believe that promotion of women is an attack on orders.

Unlike Christianity and Muslim, Buddhism and Hinduism do not have a single authoritative religious text, but they are also based on gender-level traditions. According to some Hindu Upanishad, the most important religious duty of a woman is to serve her husband. In Buddism, some scriptures of Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana canon indicate that women can not achieve Buddhism and are the highest level of spiritual enlightenment. From the 17th century to the present, these classical traditions have been used to limit women's authority. In particular, women should not be educated, should not be allowed to possess their property, should not be allowed to go to the public, and should not be allowed to speak publicly The Bible has been used to argue. In colonial America, Christians believed that the weakness of women made them particularly vulnerable to magic. Polluted by the crime of Eve, they are considered to be easy devils' prey

The religious cosmology detailed by Iroquois is based on the primitive tradition of a woman descending from the sky; the rest of the religious tradition is the pattern of flood and earth diver, supernatural attack and cruelty, witchcraft , Torture, cannibalism, star myths and a journey to another world. The official ceremonial cycle includes six agricultural festivals, including long-term Thanksgiving. There is also a ceremony to sanction political activities such as treatment. War is very important in Iroquoi society, and for men self esteem depends on personal glory in war. Prisoners of war are often enslaved or adopted on behalf of the dead family. The loss of war and disease increased demand for prisoners and became an important population of Iroquois settlements later in the 17th century.
