QUOTE: It's interesting because many people have this idea like Christianity is sexist, and it's not true at all, but ironicly evolution is extremely sexist against women and if you read this article you will see.
Wrong on the evolution side, as pointed out above. And our theory of evolution has moved on a very long way since Darwin. It's the basis of the science, not what we use in its entirety today. Nowadays we have things like genetics to support it, and can show that man has been on the earth for millions of years longer than creationist christians believe. But, that aside;
Christianity IS sexist and always has been. Mary Magdalene (JC's main confidant in his own words) was written out of the bible because of the implications of parity it meant for women in a male-dominated religion. The priesthood had always been entirely male. Women also had to sit in a separate part of the church to worship. Here in the UK, women have only recently been allowed to become vicars and hold positions of power in christianity, etc. Nobody can say that the church has historically treated women as the equals of men, and it's only very recently that they've been taken seriously at all.
Paul: "Women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says." (1 Cor 14:34)
