To be fair, it's not like the bible is any better on women's rights. It's just that most modern Christians (thankfully) ignore large parts of their book. There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian groups that have just as bad, or in some cases a worse, culture of misogyny.

Yeah a large part of how to solve this, is really just slowly getting rid of religion as much as possible.
