There's nothing wrong with male OR female desire. There is something wrong with sexual entitlement and objectification. There's something wrong with heteronormativity. There's something wrong with thinking woman naturally aren't as good at sciences. There's something wrong with human being producing a culture that kidnaps over 200 young girls, with very little outcry. There's something wrong with a epidemic of sexual trafficking. There's something wrong with women who experience intimate partner violence with very little support from the courts.

Religions, in varying denominations teach that women are inferior. Religion teaches that women are responsible for "original sin" Some religions teach that the sight of women's flesh is temptation. Some, and not enough, teach love and equality. Religion is a reaction, not a cause from of a of a variety of societal pressures, using involving basic needs.

We will be excited when we actually have equality, not what we are told is equality.
