Default Do these bible quotes prove that christianity is sexist?

1Cor.14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

This stuff was written a long time ago and if you go to Church now you can see that these commands are not adhered to.

All religions are sexist, that I can think of.

No, because Galatians 3:28 says "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
And Priscilla taught Apollos with her husband, Aquila, when Apollos was unintentionally teaching false doctrine.
1 Cor 14:34-35 refers to a false teaching, too, that was going on in the Corinthian church. Following those verses Paul says, "What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?" So take it all together. "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?" In the original language there weren't any quotes, and no punctuation to serve as such, and Paul was correcting their false teaching.
I admit ignorance on the second passage, but God loves us all equally, no matter who we are or what our gender is. I've struggled with this for a long time, being a woman, but understand better now than I used to. I know I don't understand it perfectly but this is as much as I know, so I'm sharing it with you.

Sometimes, actually, most of the time, Christians misinterpret the Bible and the religion built around what was meant to be a freeing, fulfilling relationship has become sexist and inhibiting. God and the Bible are not sexist, people are.

Christianity IS sexist. So, of course it does.
If it were NOT sexist, females would be able to be priests and popes and etc

Men have a role that women can't fill. Just as men can't experience the wonder of bringing a life into the world.

I'm sexist and do not want to DE-sex. Too many silly women have an inferiority complex. In the Bible women are equal in worth but not authority, the man is the head, the woman is the neck. I love being a Christian woman most of the time, but when it's not great I partake in the sufferings of Christ. I submit as the bible tells me too out of reverence for him. With Christs grace and my courage, I shall see heaven. My husband is God fearing and submits to me like I submit to him (as he is commanded too), life is v.good for a Christian woman compared to a non Christian woman.
