Why should men be attributed a sinful nature? Pretty arbitrary.

Men AND women have a sinful nature. One way males display their sinful nature is by diminishing women.

Actually so called new age religions came out in the late 1800’s for example Religious Science by E Holmes. Do not confuse it with Christian Science as it’s totally different.

We all have a sinful nature. But generally, men tend to be arrogant, domineering, and mean when our sinful behavior is not checked. The absence of Christianity so often means women get hurt.

Which, of course, explains why almost all christian churches are led by men. It's primarily a male power structure. Or did you miss that?

That's right. The diminishing is equal-opportunity and really has no bounds, which makes it such a huge common flaw.

Too many power plays and power struggles. A big childish game of dysfunction. Gods' turned away for many of them.

It’s actually in the Bible that Christian churches and congregations are led by men.
There are some woman televangelists, eg Joyce Meyer, but most pastoral men would rebuke her for this.

Yeah, because, coincidentally, the books of the Bible, especially the OT laws, were written by--get this--MEN.

The Episcopal Church has been ordaining women since 1977.
