@MrpoopyButhole @Tfmonkey It's about more than patriarchy in the religion as a whole. The specific community you think about joining also needs to support certain tenets. For example, I didn't join the local Mennonite group because they are pacifist absolutists. They advocate literally give a thief their coat like Jesus said and will not defend themselves if attacked though they will flee if possible. Granted, it's questionable if all are that strict.
@DoubleD @Tfmonkey ya it's not like Iran's birthrate supports patriarchy, oh well. The Mennonites I know suffer the same inbred plague the Jews and Amish do.
