Perhaps the misogyny (real or perceived) that is sometimes associated with Christianity an encoded part of Christian belief; perhaps it is an erroneous perception; perhaps it is a result of 2000 years of human administration of a divinely inspired religion; perhaps none or all of the above; what say you.

This very general question was inspired in part by this question. I was going to include it as an “ask-me-anything” type of post on that thread, but I figured it would work better as a stand-alone question. Let’s maintain a civil tolerant tone, keeping the bashing and flaming down to a minimum. Thanks.
