About "Sharia law" or the treatment of women by the Taliban or in places like Saudi Arabia or Iran, they sure don't mind forcing women to live under religious rule as long as it's old white men making the rules because "Jesus".

Which I might add, the Jesus talked about the the Bible would not approve. Maybe some of the writers attributed to followers of Jesus would, as many writers and transcribers have repeatedly inserted language to denigrate women in order to ensure patriarchy and male dominance in society.
Literally all of this religious hate toward women is attributable to the way certain writers and transcribers choose to convey women's role in the story of Christianity and Islam and Judaism. Women are considered less then men for purpose of control and subjugation.
