If you want to find fault with The Bible, you should provide an alternate which is better, not with the same (perceived) denigration.
Which part of Bible denigrates women?-that women is a part of man or women and men are bound in matrimony unto death?
If you can not differentiate between parables/allegories and philosophy one can only pity you.
First read the Bible;well,it is too much to ask of you as you seem to be doing everything in the University except studying.
A healthy and inquiring mind would have searched for a better system of Philosophy and religion,but not a sick mind obsessed with porn.
Believers, do not give them any recognition for them or for their acts.Best to treat them with indifference.
One more question in what respect do you want women to be respected more than what is given in the Bible?
By allowing them to be flirts, with loose morals , drink ,smoke pot, go in for Divorce, leave children and family ?
Woman occupies most precious position in a society, that is of a Mother.
This has been stressed in the Bible.
Well. You can wake up a Man who is asleep, not one who pretends to be asleep.

Story:
A stand set up by students on the college campus of the University of San Antonio, Texas, caused quite a stir last week: a group of atheist students were giving out free porn magazines and books in exchange for…bibles.
Their message: the way women are portrayed in Holy Scriptures is as degrading as it is in porn literature, so why not trade ‘smut for smut’? Needless to say, Christian students on campus were unimpressed by the initiative.
"Some see me as a kind of antichrist"
We founded our group five years ago, and every year we organise the ‘smut for smut’ campaign. This year the event got more attention than ever: after just three days, we had collected 42 bibles, two Korans and several other sacred texts, including a sort of satanist bible. We ended up running out of porn magazines to trade them against! The campaign also got a lot of media attention, including in the foreign press.
Our goal isn’t to shock or offend people but to get them thinking: why are women portrayed in such a misogynistic way in so many religious texts? The Bible is full of excuses used by society to belittle women, it’s just as bad as porn in that sense. So, for us, inviting students to trade bibles against porn is a way of pointing out the flaws in religious texts.
Things sometimes got tough on campus. Never violent, but Christian students took the initiative really badly. There were a couple of arguments, but also a lot of genuine, interesting debates. Some students now see me as a kind of new antichrist, which I think is kind of funny.
This video posted on YouTube shows the members of Atheist Agenda carrying Bible for Porn signs. At 2’16, one of them reads a passage from the Bible that he considers sexist. Christian students respond by chanting "Jesus will set you free!"
