I think he was being sarcastic.

Shouldn't women be "Allowed" to do whatever us Males do?
I seem to remember something....somewhere....that "Allowed for life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness.
Without religion, people would have no morals. Religion is the only thing that makes us good.
An extremist says something stupid. In other news, the sun rose today.
Extremist? Since when is being a misogynist an extremist position in Judaism, Christianity and Islam? .
The question you SHOULD be asking is what percentage in each religion hold similar views.
In this country, such opinions among Jews are quite rare, as Jews as a whole are more liberal than the average American. There are perhaps a few more fundie Jews in Israel than here, but it is still uncommon enough to be considered well outside the mainstream.
Extremist? Since when is being a misogynist an extremist position in Judaism, Christianity and Islam? Actually, I'd say it's historically a pretty mainstream position. It's even endorsed, supported and affirmed by their religious books to the agreement of many religious, and their flock leaders, throughout 30 centuries of recorded human history. It became an extremist position to the secular masses when women realized that religion doesn't get to define their place. An extremist? No. This man is a traditionalist much in the way of people today who seek to interpret the Constitution as they believe the Founding Fathers would have.
Of course he's an extremist. Take a cross sample of people from any of those religions and find out what the current mainstream positions are. They won't be similar to what's posted in the OP.
So she thinks women should be allowed to be preachers, ministers, priests, etc.?

You subscribe to spurious accuracy?
There appear to be people who disagree with you.
Some religions do not allow women to become official leaders of the flock.
"Without religion, people would have no wars. Religion is the only thing that makes us bad."
My kids are better off, our home is spotless and well kept, and my wife and I enjoy each others roles in our family. I have a great deal of respect for her role, and she is equally respectful of mine.
What's so extreme about a women place rteally IS in the home!

Hatuey actually makes the correct assessment in my opinion. I'm not sure why many here are quick to criticize his views on this? Some might even say that a lot of the problems in this world, especially in the western society could go away tomorrow if women were more inclined to stay home and take care of the home. I suppose I'm extree then since my wife has been a stay at home since we met. My kids are better off, our home is spotless and well kept, and my wife and I enjoy each others roles in our family. I have a great deal of respect for her role, and she is equally respectful of mine.

Wow, you should be part of the Taliban, you share the same views about women. And for the record forcing someone to stay home is not respect.

I'm not arguing that his position isn't extreme within a wider societal construct that takes into consideration secular opinions. I'm arguing that within the historical understanding and teachings of Abrahamic faith, his position is perfectly well within the mainstream.
I think a better term, and one more widely used to describe such people, is "fundamentalist"
That is correct.
No, no, he is a traditionalist as well as fundamentalist. His belief in fundamentals are part of a tradition.
