Women are ill taught by men to believe these social stigmas assigned to them‚ which are obedience‚ chastity to the family‚ and subservience to men‚ their family‚ and society.

Linn‚ expressing a Catholic viewpoint‚ says that confession for many Catholics is a ritual with little benefits. “How often do we rattle off the same old list of sins‚ hardly hear what the hurried priest mumbles‚ and find ourselves living no different afterwards.” (p. 69) He recalls that confession was meant to meet Christ and have a change of heart‚ not to repeat a memorized list of sins.
