Christianity is, we'll say, 'problematic' for women. It wasn't supposed to be, and I believe that Jesus, if he actually lived, did not intend it to be. Mary Magdalene, as the Gospel of Phillip tells us, was noted as his 'companion' (which is not to say, 'sexual partner'), a beloved friend. She was never once called a whore in the Bible. So why did it take 2000 years for the truth to come out? Because the other apostles were anti-women. In the apocrypha, the only texts I trust because they haven't been edited to death, an argument takes place between Peter and Mary after the Crucifixion. The disciples asked her if Jesus told her anything he may have neglected to tell them, just hungry for information. So she tells them and this is what happened.
But Andrew answered and said to the brethren, "Say what you think concerning what she said. For I do not believe that the Savior said this. For certainly these teachings are of other ideas."
Peter also opposed her in regard to these matters and asked them about the Savior. "Did he then speak secretly with a woman, in preference to us, and not openly? Are we to turn back and all listen to her? Did he prefer her to us?"
Whoa! A dude who y'all profess to love has just died and his closest friend is sharing an intimate conversation at your request, and you basically tell her to shut up and sit down? Wth. (This argument is recounted in the Gospel of Mary, the Sophia Pistis, and the Gospel of Thomas, so that's three ancient sources.)
Again, Peter is the father of the Church as we know it, the first bishop of Rome. And yet, he denied Christ three times. In fact, Jesus said, Oh ye of little faith, to
him. So how did he end up taking over the 'Jesus crew'? By kicking out the person with the most claim: Mary. That's why she's been a whore for the past 2000 years. Because Peter was a hater. I bet he wasn't popping all that ish when Jesus was still alive.
I say all that to say, how could a religion started by this man be anything BUT anti-woman? Over these thousands of years, this hatred for an 'unharnessed' woman, like the Magdalene, has been codified. Look at the witch trials. A bunch of men burning women for simply being: being widowed and able to live alone, being too comfortable in her skin, just
being in a way that didn't revolve around her husband or her father. And they got pleasure from it. Read some of the Malleus Mallificarum and tell me those church guys weren't getting off on it. It was like the sanctified version of snuff film.
And this is why the Christianity of Peter, the roots of a tree with many branches, leaves women out of touch with their femininity. Because the founder hated us and wanted us disempowered.
) so I cant wait to read them and post my thoughts on here I want to be free from social inhibitions and one of the ways that I am doing that is by loving myself more and more everyday
