Because there are over 4000 religions. Also matriarchal cultures exist. While their religions might still be sexist, it wouldn't be the women who are shooting themselves in the head.

I mean, the US definitely has a patriarchal culture, and Men still make up almost two thirds of suicides.

Sexism is bad for everyone, regardless of who the target is.

I'm not saying that matriarchal religions are good. I'm just saying that matriarchal religions exist and women who follow those aren't shooting themselves in the head. It's the men who are.

The only good religions are ones where no one has to shoot themselves.
