Our great symbol for the Goddess is the moon, whose three aspects reflect the three stages in womens lives and whose cycles of waxing and waning coincide with womens menstrual cycles. – Carol P. Christ
Islam exhorts men to respect and honor women. The status of the wife is so respected in Islam that it is not obligatory for her to do household chores. She may do them of her own accord. But if her husband forces her to do household work, he will have to account for his conduct in the hereafter. – Anon.
