You hit it right on the head. It absolutely is barbarism. Disgusting.

why do women willingly support most religions? is it support, or are they hoping to change it? all religions have their 'good' side, but they all have a dark side as well. religion has a tendency to try to put women in their place. now, not all still have the sheer violence you see in the extreme forms of islam, but it preaches inequality all the same.
there are still parts of india where the widow is thrown, alive, onto her late husbands funeral pyre. it's tradition you see. she's just one more of his possessions that needs to travel to the other side with him...
catholics-no women need apply. baptists-women must submit to their husbands. oh, teaching bible school? nope, bible says only men can do that, you're fired.
etc, etc, etc
