"I Permit Not a Woman..." To Remain
Shackled by Robert H. Rowland
This a book published on the Freedom's
Ring
website. It deals "with the practices of the Churches of Christ,...
many of the same basic arguments will be found in some form in most
other churches which still keep women in subjection to the men of the
church. It will deal with those which forbid women to participate or
limit their participation in the specific traditional male roles in the
public life of the church." (quote from book)

HOWEVER, violence and atrocities against women and girls is currently a worldwide epidemic. Religion (including those who will quote from the Bible or Koran), 'honor' or manhood, racism, and ethnic warfare or 'cleansing', are the rational often used for this violence.
According to Amnesty International reports, violence and atrocities against women and girls is currently a worldwide epidemic. Religion, 'honor' or 'manhood', racism, and ethnic 'cleansing', are the rationales often used for this violence. War crimes against the women have also become far too common amongst warring nations or tribes.
