Would you stay in a sexist religion?

Question

I want to post this anonymously because I don't want to bring hate onto my religion. But I just found out a lot of things about it that are so sexist which ide never known!! And now I feel torn. I'm pregnant with a girl and due in 2 weeks. How can I look her in the eye and preach my religion knowing its sexist? I feel torn because my husband says he'll leave if I don't want to continue living within the religion . So do I just go along with it and keep quite? What would you do? I have 2 kids already. I just found out this stuff today I'm in total shock. It never applied to my life before.

Answer

If you're not happy with t then don't put up with it. If your husband put you first then he wouldn't blackmail you with divorce for thinking of your happiness and that of your daughter. Fuck it - Let the sexist dick leave. There are plenty more dicks in the world love ;)

Answer

It depends on the religion and what you mean by sexist. There are deeper levels than others. I mean, most religions are sexist. But, Christian religions are little more open minded and lose with what that exactly means. 
Religion is a very hard road to travel down once you realize the values don't match up with your own anymore. I would try to have a very deep conversation about what exactly you want from your marriage and for your kids with your spouse and if it can be compromised stay. But, if nothing sounds healthy to you  and what you want for your daughters future. It's better to find a decent support system & leave.

Answer

It's your choice, but I'm just gonna say I can't see any loving husaband threatening to leave someone over a choice that literally only affects the individual. You have the right to choose your religion, your partner does not, and he has some problems if he thinks he gets to decide what you believe.

Answer

99% of religions are sexist.

Answer

Up to you but it depends. What exactly do u consider sexist? I mean, some people say the Christian bible is sexist. I say that's nonsense. Not sure about other religions though 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

Its your life and everything that happens in your life, is your choice. If you're not happy than you should change that! 
I wouldn't want to bring my children up into a religion that is sexist. I want to teach my children equality! 
You seem like a really amazing person to have discovered this and stayed true to your morals and beliefs. I think that's the true commitment, not a religion. 
I'm sure you'll make a great decision based on what you want. Good luck

Answer

I think it depends on what you mean by sexist.

Answer

You really want to ask yourself if you want your kids growing up in that religion?

Answer

I think it depends. Maybe try to research your religion much more deeply? I'm Catholic, and sometimes I hear people say completely false things about my religion, even claiming that Catholics are sexist, among other things. However, when we dig more deeply into my religion, I find so much to contradict what society tends to think. 
So before leaving your religion, try to learn about it a little more? From lots of different sources? And maybe learn about it with your husband? Try to point out to him the things that concern you, and have him learn about it along with you. Learning about your faith together can open up so much room to grow as a couple AND in your faith. 
Learning together can't hurt anything, it will either strengthen you both in your relationship and your faith, or it will prove to you both that your differences are irreconcilable. 
I wish you the best, and I know marriage can be so hard, but love is so worth fighting for! ❤️️ I hope that you and your husband come to an agreement and your marriage strengthens through this!

Answer

When reading the Bible, I ALWAYS point out the sexism and talk to my boys about how and why treating women that way was and is wrong. What your children believe is what YOU teach them. Just because your mainstream doctrine is sexist doesn't mean that you or your family have to be. You and your husband are the leaders of your house, and YOU should be teaching by example with faithfulness and love. 
Church and preachers (as Christianity for an example) are not supposed to be your main link to God. You need to be following closely and daily. Church is just an extra awesome time that you get together and worship. The preacher/church will NEVER have more influence over your children than you will. 
Again, this is all an example for Christianity of course.
