Answer 1

Answer:

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church. Many people still look to passages from the Christian bible, like this one, to justify gender roles. This may be a dysfunction of religion, because it promotes sexism.

Explanation:

Religion is one of the most powerful social systems which has always created and given a justification for values having different hierarchies. Such intrinsic values spread an unbalanced status between men and women by ratifying some ideologies that relate to "good" sexism. So, in the context of religion, the idea of men being above women has been naturally accepted for centuries.
