I'm sure a bunch of you may know what repentance is about. I sure have. However what I recently discovered is there are masculine and feminine ways of repenting. I honestly don't know how Christianity gets the idea of gendering repentance.
Let me try to be specific. As far as I'm aware of, when a man repents, he has to do so out of strength so being sincere makes him a "stronger man". Meanwhile, if a woman repents, she has to do so out of submission so her sincerity makes her a more "humble submissive woman".
I'm not sure with a lot of other religions but I know for Christianity, it has a lot of sexist and racist shit. I'm serious, even there were many Christians that tried to justify slavery and claim that the Bible says so.
Some of you might be thinking "that's not what I recalled", but I'm only talking based on what I've experienced.
Can you give some examples? It's my impression that men and women are both meant to be submissive when it comes to religion in general.
Religion, the majority, always has the woman submissive to the man, and man gets to communicate with god. The women get pumped doggy style.
I dislike Christianity, but at least it's not as misogynistic as Islam.

Only because, in my opinion, Islam is 700 years younger, give it time to catch up and it may too, have a less repressive attitude. But let's not hold our breath
After smoking weed and tobacco for 50 years I don't have much breath to hold.

Women are definitely supposed to submit to men, according to the Bible, but men are also supposed to submit to God. The church is the bride of Jesus. Or the slave. But Biblically speaking, not much difference between the two.

According to Christianity, men are supposed to be the leaders while the women are the caretakers.
How about to be more specific, let's take a look at how wives are to submit to their husbands according to Focus On The Family:

And what about the creation of man and woman according to the Bible?:

My family and I are not Islamic, so we don't have a clue what it's like to live by Islam.

But keep in mind, God is ALSO referred to as male. We did not say that men didn't need to serve God in terms of Christianity, that's you thinking we said that.
What we are actually trying to say is that women are expected to submit to those who are above them TWICE AS MUCH. Do not undermine the misogyny in toxic religion.
