This is a response video to another of crawlingkiki's misleading (and largely useless!) videos. Their video attempts to imply that there is a common understanding shared by Jewish and Christian culture regarding the story of creation. The term "Judaeo-Christian" is used, which although has some utility when examining commonalities of the two relgions/cultures at a broad level, isn't without its huge limitations. The limitations of the term need to be addressed. Again, athough the term isn't without its utility, when evaluating such nuanced differences betwen the understanding(s) interpretation(s) of various religious texts between various religions and culture, major distinctions must be made! And again, at a broad level, the term Judaeo-Christian isn't useless... but it does become COMPLETELY useless when comparing nuances between the two religions/cultures at the micro level. This is an important point completely overlooked by this misleading couple with the cheery disposition.

Most importantly, I address the oversimplication of crawlingkiki's video as an attempt to analyze gender relationships between Judaeo-Christian culture and Muslim culture (a false distinction!). The reality is, the forces that shape gender relationships are so much older and SO MUCH broader in scope than the alleged differences between the understanding(s)/interpretation(s) of the religious story of creation. For example, examining the development of agriculture in early human societies and the development of early civiliations' urbanization are a couple of examples that warrant serious attention when attempting to understand broad social forces that lead to some of early developments of patriarchy. After watching crawlingkiki's videos, one would leave with the impression that predominantly Muslim societies have a greater degree of equality between men and women than in societies that are primarily Jewish and/or Christian (nevermind that there are only about 20 million Jewish persons worldwide!). Any sensible person knows that this is a silly and false perspective. Although it is nice to know that some Muslims on YouTube purport a perspective of their faith that treats men and women equally (more power to you!), examination of primarily Muslim socieities and countries doesn't reflect this perspective as widespread.

Finally, crawlingkiki clearly intend to disparage the Jewish and Christian religions, and by extension, elevate Islam. I'm sure I don't speak for only myself when I see a huge degree of silliness between many religions (all three listed above included)! Archaic lifestyles aren't for me, no offense. Anyone else a big Bill Maher fan (aside from his preachiness?) (less info)
