"To embrace a woman is to embrace a sack of manure" -- Odo of Cluny

Clement of Alexandria, Pedagogues II, 33, 2
With women "the very consciousness of their own nature must evoke feelings of shame."

Tertulian, father of latin christianity
"Woman you are the devils doorway... Woman, thou shouldst ever be clothed in rags and in mourning"

Knox, protestant reformer
“Nature I say, paints [women] further to be weak, frail, impatient, feeble and foolish: and experience has declared them to be inconstant, variable, cruel and lacking the spirit of counsel and regiment [or, leadership].”

Luther, protestant reformer
“'Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error."

St. Albert the Great
"Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison with his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she herself cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one's guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil... In evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good."

He said that women should be confined to the house and not be taught Buddhism.

"[If] women go forth from the household life, then the rule of Dharma (religion) will not be maintaned over a long period"

He told women:

“This [your] body is a SWAMP OF GARBAGE, an INFECTIOUS HEAP OF IMPURITIES. How can anybody take pleasure in such wandering LATRINES?”

Further, he told his followers:

- “One would sooner chat with demons and murderers with drawn swords, sooner touch poisonous snakes even when their bite is deadly, than chat with a woman alone”
- “It were better, simpleton, that your sex enter the mouth of a poisonous snake than that it enter a woman. It were better, simpleton, that your sex enter an oven than that it enter a woman”
- But the danger of the shark, is a characteristic of woman"

In abhorrence for women, he composed the following:

"Those are not wise
Act like animals
Racing toward female forms
Like hogs toward mud
……………….
Because of their ignorance
They re bewildered by women, who
Like profit seekers in the marketplace
Deceive those who come near"

Central to Buddha's teachings, is the destruction of the feminine principle, which is the root of all troubles. One is only reborn as a woman if one accumulates bad karma in one's life. One Buddhist scripture states that the female “should hate her impure body like a jail in which she is imprisoned, like a cesspool into which she has fallen”

Just the art style. I'm an Atheist but their art style appeals to me. This is a non religious question so I don't want biased answers.
