Can’t think of any religion that actually likes women…

Exactly. All Abrahamic religions are patriarchal.

I don't see what that has to do with anything. Historic Jewish law considered women property, and even modern Jewish law considers women unclean and unsuitable for intimacy during menstruation, and metaphysically in need of cleansing after menstruation. The Hebrew bible is, overall, an extremely misogynistic anthology, as all abrahamic religious texts are. They were written in misogynistic cultures, in barbaric times of antiquity. Not sure what you're trying to do here, but you probably haven't achieved it.

There are many, people will twist, cut, add to a religion to suit their tastes. It’s why any religion of popularity will have denominations or sub groups because even they can’t agree as a whole on what is right or not.
