Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 6 – Are Religions Unfair To Women?

It’s a long documentary so let’s just say the short answer (at least in my view) is: yes!

Given what day it is today, I can’t help but think about the fourteen female engineering students killed twenty-four years ago today.

They weren’t murdered for religious reasons.

But as part of my thoughts on this sad day and while I’m in the midst of posting a month-long series of atheism-related posts, I can’t help but think of the general lack of women in the science and engineering fields and how scientific fields like engineering, chemistry, biology, etc. tend to be some of the most non-religious in society.

That makes the loss of those fourteen women, those fourteen potential role models for girls like my daughter, even more tragic if that’s even possible.
