Equality and Reincarnation

Had a fun interchange with a friend about equality and reincarnation. Here's the convo (my replies are in blue):

What are your thoughts on gender? Today I'm feeling pretty pissed off about being a woman and not from a cultural repression standpoint just like pure biology. It feels like a punishment.

Well according to mormon doctrine. . you are inferior IMO

You are a help meet for man and you are part of a harem in the eternities . You get to make babies for your King. .  you also get to give yourself unto him and he only receives you . . as he does not give himself unto you for he needs to be able to receive multiple women

Darn Eve. . shouldn’t have eaten that damn fruit

I know that's why i want a different opinion haha

most organized religions oppress women though. So it’s not just mormons.

But it sounds right. It does suck more than being a man.  I believe it that it's a punishment

That’s why I’m not a fan of any organized religion Institutions always exist to maintain order, power, and controlIt’s a hierarchy .  . Power is consolidated on top and the masses are made to follow

Yeah but why are we weaker, slower, menstruate, have to carry children??

even men are oppressed in organized religion if they aren’t the “prophet, apostle, cardinal, pastor, bishop, rector” . . they are made to feel that they need to take their cues and commands from the “leader” who has a privileged relationship to God

I swear I believe in reincarnation and this is punishment haha

No different than when the Bible was only in Latin and those who couldn’t read Latin couldn’t have the word of God

I like the idea of reincarnation

And I don’t believe in punishment

I only believe in lessons

And so of course you would need a lifetime as a woman

There are only certain lessons you can learn as a woman

And I will hopefully be born one day a woman in India

And a man in Africa

Obviously, our text threads overlapped. And my friend either got kidnapped or hated my thoughts as they disappeared never to reappear lol.

But I don't mind recording these ideas as I like looking back at the evolution of my thoughts and I'm all about equality and reincarnation does truly intrigue me.
