'''Women''' is the plural for the female of the human species. They have vaginas where their penises should be.

== Women in the Bible ==

=== Genesis ===
According to [[biblical literalism]], women, like Men, were created by God on the 6th day of [[Creation]], as told in The Book of [[Genesis]]. [[Genesis]] further elaborates that [[God]] took a rib from [[Adam]], the first Man, and from it created [[Eve]], the first woman, as a subservient companion for [[Adam]]. Also not explicitly stated in the [[Bible]], it is obvious that, due to the manner in which Eve was created, she was Adam's wife, as God does not intend for two humans in such a union to be any other way.{{fact}} Eve caused sin and suffering to come into the world when she tricked Adam into eating from The Tree of Knowledge, an act directly forbidden by God Himself. As punishment for this, God declared that women shall experience great pain in childbirth and shall always be ruled over by their husbands. <ref>Genesis 3:16</ref>

=== Biblical statements on the role of women ===
Saint Paul also has much to say on the status of women in society, most memorably that women should submit to their husbands just as the church submits to God.

<ref>[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I%20Corinthians%2014:34-35;&version=9; I Corinthians 14:34-35]</ref>
The Bible also states that if a man sells his daughter into slavery she must consent and "not go out as the menservants do." (Exodus 21:7)

The New Testament contains many instructions regarding the role of women:
# Women are to dress modestly<ref>1 Timothy 2:9</ref><ref>Peter 3:2-6</ref>.
# Women may learn in silence, but may not be permitted to teach<ref>1 Timothy 2:11-12</ref>. Some interpreations limit this rule to the teaching of doctrine.
# Women are not permitted to speak in church<ref>1 Corinthians 14:34-35 (Spoken by Paul></ref>.
# Women are to be subservient to and follow the instructions of their husbands<ref>Ephesians 5:22-24</ref><ref>Colossians 3:18</ref><ref>Titus 2:4-5</ref><ref>1 Peter 3:1-7</ref>.

Some women's organizations like the National Organization of Women disagree with the Bible and argue that they should not have to submit to their husbands, but instead should have "equal" rights.[http://womensvoicesraised.org/bakerLetter.html] Some Christian churches support this idea {{fact}}, despite the many biblical passages commanding them to the contrary.

Girl Scouts

Turner:

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912 and is an organization for girls in the United States The GS program developed from the progressive movement in the United States from people who sought to promote the social welfare of young women and as a female counterpart to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912.

The progressive movement continues to have an influence in the GSUSA. This is why [[lesbians]] are alowed in the GSA, but [[homosexuals]] are not alowed in the BSA. Also because two girlscouts gettin it on is hot.

Turner:

A Post-Feminist is a person who believes in [[Post-Feminism]], the belief that women have the right to choose their own destiny. This goes against the teachings of [[Christianity]] that women are to submit to their father's will untill given away to their husbands.
