Today women have many roles to play, they also hold down very responsible positions in government, society etc.
The Bible never regards women as 2nd best.
It is the man himself that has done that. The Jews took that stance because it allowed them to divorce their wives with just a word.
They made up their own laws, These laws demeaned women. For example they had a law (oral not written) that said a wife should walk behind and not beside her husband.
Men were warned against having conversations with women in public, regardless of whether it was his wife or not.
They even formed a prayer in which they thanked God for not being a women.
The religious leaders buried God’s Law under a mass of man-made rules and regulations. The Sabbath law simply forbade work on the Sabbath, setting that day aside for worship, spiritual refreshment, and rest. But the Pharisees made a burden of that law. They took it upon themselves to decide just what “work” meant.
