Reply to comment by aDittyaDay in [WP] All adults can make a pilgrimage once a year to a genie and attempt to make a wish. However, the genie will only grant the wish if it's never be asked for before in all history. Most people never get their wish. On your 18th birthday you make the trip and are surprised to get your wish. by shadowkyros

I don't get it :(

You tried to put an awful lot of words in my mouth for someone who didn't even buy me dinner first.

> Also most say the problem absolutely is misogyny which is rooted in religion.

And that's exactly my point. They blame religion for misogyny.

Because Reddit skews heavily towards people from the West and/or Atheists, especially men. Blaming Islam lets Westerners pretend Christianity and Judaism haven't done the same shit, and blaming religion lets Atheist men pretend religion is the problem instead of misogyny (which exists without religion and arguably came first).

I'm an Atheist woman, so I can tell you right now men can and will be absolutely shitty to women without religion, they just find a different set of excuses to justify it.

Meanwhile, a lot of the subcomponents of liberal democracy - which is what mitigates how much cultural bias becomes or remains law - came out of religious tradition (i.e. universal literacy/education), or were organized in religious contexts (i.e. various civil rights movements using churches as bases of organization).
