When we look at the Bible -- God's Word -- God seems to have a major problem with women.
God treats women quite differently than he treats men. For example, we find this in 1 Corinthians chapter 14:

As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church

When we look at the Bible -- God's Word -- God seems to have a major problem with women.
God treats women quite differently than he treats men. For example, we find this in 1 Corinthians chapter 14:

As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church

There are many places in the Bible where God talks about women. This quote from 1 Corinthians 11, for example, is odd:

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

Then there is this section from 1 Timothy chapter 2:

Also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion. Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

It is hard to miss God's meaning when he says something as direct as, "I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent."

This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

God makes no mention of forming any sort of covenant with women.
In Matthew 25:1 Jesus says: "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom."
In John 20:17 Jesus says to Mary: "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father," as though the touch of a woman is somehow improper, but a few verses later, is happy to have Thomas touch him.

In John 20:17 Jesus says to Mary: "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father," as though the touch of a woman is somehow improper, but a few verses later, is happy to have Thomas touch him.
In Genesis chapter 3, God punishes Eve, and all women for thousands of years, with greatly increased pain during childbirth. No such pain is inflicted on Adam.
In Deuteronomy 22:28-29 we find this: "If a man meets a virgin who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are caught in the act, the man who lay with her shall give fifty shekels of silver to the young woman’s father, and she shall become his wife. Because he violated her he shall not be permitted to divorce her as long as he lives." So, what God is saying is if you are a man, and you rape a girl, she gets to be your wife. Very nice.
In Ephesians 5:22-24 we find this: "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."
In 1 Peter 3:7 we find: "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."

Some religious conservatives haven't made much progress since the Biblical quotes you provided Laceym, in either their understanding of sex or their respect for women. They are still ruled by the spirit, if not the letter of St.Paul, who insists that women are second class-citizens.

As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

There are still no women priests in the Catholic church. And the official policy of the Southern Baptist Convention makes married women subservient to their husbands even though the woman may be smarter, better educated, and making more money.

The Pauline clip mentioned above is a distinct minority in Scripture, apparently needed for some cultural reason in a single place. If it is so important, why is it not mentioned in letters to churches of any other location?
By contrast, elsewhere he writes "there is no more male or female." In Acts 2, Peter says the day has come in which young and old, male and female will prophesy (and prophecy in this context is about preaching.) Throughout Acts, women teach and lead. Paul will later refer to some as apostle.

Jesus is radically more pro-women than almost anyone of his era. He speaks directly with women when no one else does, he constantly uses women as examples of wisdom in his parables, he points out women similarly in real life, his first post-resurrection appearance is to women, several of his key followers are women, and women are the heroes who show up at the cross when everybody else has run off.
What those who hold the oppressive view of women miss in Scripture is that dominance of men by women is a result of the fall, and is one of the things undone by the coming of Jesus. Those Scriptures that seem to limit female roles are completely outnumbered by a post-Pentecost context that offers women complete freedom to lead. And so have many churches been all along.

On the etymology issue, female has as much to do with male as history has to do with his, but woman does literally mean "wife of man."

From <a href>http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=female#sharethis</a>;

<blockquote>female (n.)
c.1315, from O.Fr. femelle, from M.L. femella "a female," from L. femella "young female, girl," dim. of femina "woman" (see feminine). Sense extended in V.L. from humans to female of other animals. Spelling alt. late 14c. on mistaken parallel of male. Reference to sockets, etc., is from 1669.</blockquote>

from <a href>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/woman#sharethis</a>;:

<blockquote>woman
late O.E. wimman (pl. wimmen), lit. "woman-man," alteration of wifman (pl. wifmen), a compound of wif "woman" (see wife) + man "human being" (in O.E. used in ref. to both sexes; see man). Cf. Du. vrouwmens "wife," lit. "woman-man." The formation is peculiar to Eng. and Du. Replaced older O.E. wif, quean as the word for "female human being." The pronunciation of the singular altered in M.E. by the rounding influence of -w-; the plural retains the original vowel. Meaning "wife," now largely restricted to U.S. dial. use, is attested from c.1450. Women's liberation is attested from 1966; women's rights is from 1840, with an isolated example in 1632. Verb womanize originally (1593) meant "to make effeminate;" sense of "to chase women, to go wenching" is attested from 1893.

I think this clip does something of a disservice by implying that this behavior is exclusive to Christian men. This is how abusive men of all cultures and faiths act. The clip and article describe a subset of abusive men who attend (presumably very conservative, evangelical) church regularly and use a selective interpretation of the Bible to justify their behavior.
