Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. Patricia L. Hunter raises questions that have been asked for centuries; through her insightful analysis, the reader is able to gain a significantly better understanding of just how patriarchal and hypocritical religion is as a whole. That women were to also be made in God's image brings to light the notion of gender superiority, inasmuch as there should be no separation between male and female when it comes to one gender oppressing the other. The author continues by pointing out that not only does such a dominance exist, but there are also subgroups of women who are considered even less worthy than others, with African-Americans considered one of the lowest of all female gender subgroups. At the crux of her article, Hunter tries to raise the bar on blind acceptance of conventional religious interpretation as being the final word in gender roles. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Bible explication is when she asks why men continue to dominate over women if God created them both in his image and, therefore, equally bestowed upon them the ability to
stand next to each other rather than one under the oppression of the other. "If all God created was very good, including humankind, then all women, regardless of ethnicity,
class, varying abilities, or sexual orientation, are a part of Gods very good creation" (Hunter 189-190). Hunter goes on to speculate the reason she should be able to relate to
God when He is so often described as male. "What does it mean to be female and to believe we are made in the image of God when God
is known as Father, Lord, and Master?" (Hunter 190). Clearly, the overwhelming patriarchal element provides the answer, in that the very individuals who first interpreted the Bible were men;
