    Well overwhelmingly men were and still are in control of some of the largest oppression machines religions in the world.

    So even though I uNdErStaNd your reply, you’re still correct.

      No, it’s actually wrong and I was sarcastic. Just because a lot of the world is geared behind a patriarchy does not mean it’s suddenly OK to scapegoat the complexities of basic sexual attraction on to one gender.

      “It’s more than the religious that take part in this” does NOT magically mean the social norms were not established by conservative fuckwits who were almost certainly heavily religious in order to protect themselves and keep their position in a patriarchy.

      Conservative religions absolutely deserve most of the blame, regardless of which gender sat at the top.
