Women don't come out very well in the Bible. Maybe it's a sign of the times. Female equality is a recent concept and is not taken into account in the Bible. Maybe sexism is right and the Bible is right. Maybe sexism is wrong and the Bible is wrong.
The wise Solomon didn't have much nice to say about the ladies either. Some of his proverbs may elicit a snigger, but to be included in a religious text that people are meant to live by? Either the Bible was meant to have a moment of comedy at the expense of women or, or, well I can't think of an alternative.
St Paul was picked by God to tell the known world about Him. Part of Paul's ministry involved writing letters to churches, communities and his own helpers. His letters may be positive towards God, but they are misogynistic when it comes to women. Either women had wronged him in earlier life, or maybe he didn't like them in the first place.
