From Eve to today, the women's problem has always existed in the course of the deep history of women, but like history, it has remained a repetition, and the perception of women in society has remained approximately the same in the process that started with Eve's insistence and continued with Adam eating the apple: Woman is always a woman. Time has made men make mistakes, and there has always been a man who made Adam eat the apple and a woman who made him eat the quince. The society, which attributes even Adam's expulsion from heaven to Eve, has attributed a distorted identity to women, emphasizing that they constantly commit crimes and encourage men to sin. The essence of women's distorted identity is based on the destruction of the first matriarchal societies by the power of the prophets in absolute monotheistic religions. With the transition to monotheistic religion, history was rewritten and shaped by burning old sources and destroying sources related to goddesses. God was identified with men, and women were punished in various ways for their sins and were redefined as tools created to serve humans under the domination of men and ensure the continuation of humanity. ...While Adam was sleeping, the Lord God took one of his ribs and replaced it with flesh. He created a woman from a rib he took from Adam and brought her to Adam. (Genesis 2/21-22) Adam said, “This is bone taken from my bones and flesh from my flesh.” said. She will be called "Woman"... With the strict rules of Judaism, the woman was removed from social activities and her self was torn apart while Adam was sleeping. Those who are against women's rights regard the information in the Torah as the "piece of rib bone" of that day; Today, they have evaluated it as a "food processor". Women have no value in Judaism. Jews start the day with these words: "Our eternal god, king of the universe, praise be to you for not creating me a woman." According to the Torah, the person responsible for Adam and Eve's expulsion from heaven was Eve, who provoked and misled Adam, thus causing him to eat from the forbidden tree, a symbol of test. Because of this, Eve is sentenced to a punishment that will be passed on to all women who will come after her. This punishment is the pain that the woman will experience during pregnancy and birth. Women's sexuality in the Torah It was made sinful in accordance with religious rules, and if a young girl lost her hymen, it was permissible for her to be stoned to death by the men of the city in front of her father's house. According to the belief system in the Torah, a young woman who is considered to have committed adultery in her father's house must die because she has dishonored not only her father but also Israel. In the Torah, the Lord God says to the woman, "I will make you suffer greatly while giving birth to a child." “You will give birth in pain. You will desire your husband, he will rule you.” While the content explaining that the woman is under the control of her husband shows that the husband can override the decisions that the woman makes independently regarding herself, this can also be considered as the guarantee given to the man of the food processor. Incest relationship was legal in the Torah. The widowed woman was married to her brother-in-law. If one of the siblings living together died without a son, the deceased's widow should not marry someone outside the family. The brother of the deceased would go to the widow and take her as his wife. “The first son the woman bears shall carry on the name of his dead brother. So that the name of the deceased will not be erased from Israel.” In Judaism, the suffering of women, who were actually martyred due to physical, bodily and psychological violence and sometimes death due to violence, continued with the Christianity religion, which was born towards the end of the slave era. Christian theologian St. Adam and Eve believe that God did not believe God's command and ate the apple, thus becoming sinners and being cursed by God. Augustine explains the history of sin. Apple, which is frequently mentioned in religious sources, is named after St. Augustine interprets sensual pleasure as union with sex experienced passionately. St. According to Augustine, if Adam and Eve had been able to escape from the apple tree, they would have been able to have sex without the feeling of lust, and thus the sexual organs would have been able to submit to the will like the other organs of the body. The sin of Adam and Eve, who were expelled from heaven and thrown to the earth because of this first sin they committed, is hereditary, and humans are cursed by God because of them. According to Christian thought, therefore, human beings are inherently sinful beings, and in Christianity, as in Judaism, the original sin was attributed to women and women were made the representatives of evil, following the devil and seduction. . According to Clement of Alexandria, women should be ashamed of being a woman. This humiliation reached such an extent that in the 6th century Masonic council, in a debate on whether a woman had a soul or not, only one person voted for a woman to have a soul. In Christianity, man was not born for woman; but woman was born for man. That is why, in the name of Christ, woman had to consider herself a symbol of slavery. “I want you to know this. The head of every man is Christ. The head of the woman is the man. The head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors the dignity of his head. On the other hand, any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disregards the dignity of her head. There is no distinction between someone who acts like this and someone who shaves his head. If a woman does not want to cover her head, she should also cut her hair! Since cutting or shaving a woman's hair undermines her dignity, it is mandatory for her to cover her head. But men should not cover their heads. Because he was the likeness and glory of God. However, woman is the glory of man. For man was not formed in woman, but woman was formed in man. Moreover, man was not created for woman, but woman was created for man. This is why there is justification for a symbol that certifies that a woman has authority over her head. This is on the face of angels. Moreover, in devotion to the Lord, women cannot be considered separate from men, and men cannot be considered separate from women. Because just as woman is born from man, man is born from woman. But everything consists of God.” (Letter to the Corinthians 11; 3-12) Although Christianity advocates that men and women are equal before God and imposes monogamy and fidelity on men, it reduces the female body to a means of birth and takes the woman's sexuality under its multifaceted control, thus controlling the woman's womb. He turned it into a lunch box. The church fathers explained that it was not religiously permissible for women to have pleasure or orgasm during sexual intercourse and said, "Open your legs, just think of Great Britain at that moment." They made women passive by performing the spiritual circumcision of women with their philosophy. In Christianity, since Mary was born by the Lord, she is passive and not a representation of feminine power. Matriarchal power stolen from Mary The penis is deified as the patriarchal power in men through the act of blowing. Tertullian, one of the first Christian leaders, expresses Christianity's view on women as follows: "Woman means a door opened to allow the devil to enter the human heart. She is the being that drags the man to the tree that is forbidden by God to approach him. And he has broken the divine law and is God's "She has deceived the man who is her image on earth." The ideas of Chrysostem, who has the title of "saint" of the Christian world, about women are as follows: "An unavoidable source of evil... A bed of delusion... A pleasant trouble... An internal danger... A beautiful bandit who preys on hearts... An ornate woman." calamity..." Woman V111 because she is seen as an evil and harmful being. During Hanri's time, he could not even touch the Bible until the decision passed by the parliament. Psalms are the smallest of the divine books and consist of lyrical sayings and hymns, words of praise and wisdom to God, and some advice, and do not bring new religious provisions. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain information about the perception of women in the Psalms, except for a few copies of the Psalms. Among the copies of the Psalms available today, Ps. 68:5 states that "God in His holy dwelling is the father of the orphans and the defender of widows." It states that widows are protected by God, while the copy of Ps.68:11 states that "The Lord gave the command, and a great congregation of women preached the good news." It gives a clue that women are included in social life. Finally, David loved Bathsheba, a married woman, and possessed Bathsheba by killing the woman's husband, Uriah, and God cursed him thereupon; Apart from the fact that she took the life of her seven-day-old son born to Bathsheba, there are no details about the perception of women in the Psalms. The Quran mentions that women were created in the same way as men, that they were created by Almighty Allah to complete each other by dividing a single whole into two, but that their appointment has different characteristics than men because they have different characteristics from men in their creation, and that men and women are friends not only with different assignment systems but also with each other. and they complement each other with their friendships and become a prominent figure in society throughout their lives. He mentions that they will have the same rights and responsibilities. Baqara 2/187: “They (your women) are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them (your men). » Men watch over and protect women. This is because Allah has made some people superior to others... (An-Nisa 4 / 34) In Surah Nisa, it is mentioned that the values and rights of women and their responsibilities as servants in the sight of Allah are equivalent to each other, except for their differences arising from creation. What is meant here by "making them superior" is not that the man is always dominant over the woman, but that the man has inherent differences compared to the woman, and these differences make the man's protective, protective and watchful aspects stronger, and that the characteristics of the woman's own existence make her superior to the man. It's about what makes it different and special. Koran; Polygamy is against human nature and has a structure that pits people against each other; However, it states that Muslims can marry more than once, up to four, as a duty to meet the needs of the society in cases of necessity such as war and illness. Messenger of Allah Hz. Muhammad, to whom she was married for 25 years. After Khadijah's death, he remained outside the ban on polygamy by marrying more than one in order to strengthen kinship, which was considered the most effective bond of friendship between people at that time, to accelerate the spread of Islam, especially by Islamizing enemy tribes, and to protect widows who were victims of inter-tribal wars in Arabia. Hz. Muhammad stood against beating and said, “None of you should beat his wife as if she were his slave. "How can you beat your spouse with whom you will sleep in a bed at night?" He said things like this and never once touched his wives in his life. At that time, the slave and concubine system continued, and this restricted the rights of concubines to unite and be united with a man, unless they became pregnant by their masters and had children. The first condition for a woman to be exempt from the right to be sold was that she be a "mother of children" and although this system was tried to be presented as an established custom for the benefit of concubines, the woman would only be freed after the death of her master and she would only be a "master".
