The church has been doing it to women for a couple of thousand of years. The church is still visible in most of our political and social life (Catholic or Protestant doesn't matter, just like Pepsi or Coca) as the church is just materialization of all our primitive fears and impulses which we so far have failed to overcome - basically a tool of organized collective projection.
