The problem with abrahamism is its murky interpretable nature that allows a parasitic priest class to form.
There are good ideas within christianity along side bad ones, as well as a lot of unnecessary fiction. the family structure of the west is not laid out in the bible, where semitic polygamy is still written. western “christian tradition”, is not wholly guided by the bible, but mixed with unspoken elements of western society.
I do not see how you can look at Rome and its pagan culture or other pagans and see a feminized culture. They had the same basic monogamous culture with some variation on details. women and men had clear and specific duties more than loose rules of thumb such as “love your wife respect your husband”.
To say Christianiy rescued Europe from the chaos of pagan matriarchy is quite a stretch. It would be more accurate to say that patriarchal people used and transformed christianity in their struggles for dominance. There is a huge amount of western behavior during christian times that cannot be explained by any christian teachings or what is written en the bible. the foundations of what is called the christian work ethic are hardly to be seen in the bible, which teaches that work is the result of a curse we must suffer through. the foundations of that work ethic is in the biology and pre christian culture.
the “incremental suppresion” that curt talks about especially during the manorial period, was quite often about NOT helping those who would not work and participate and letting them die. no need to kill them, just let nature take its course. christian charity consistently undermines this.

—“Holy crap, i was practicing a speech about the evolution of christianity and talking about Aquinas’s attempts to reconcile the Aristotle’s empirical views with christianity. That aquinas didn’t want christianity to follow the path of the muslims in banning any form of empirical logic, but at the same time kept knowledge of God through the bible as paramount. And in my speech I jump to Francis Bacon as being the one to refine the empirical method as a seed of the scientific method that we have today. Bacon, while relying on Aristotle’s empiricism simultaneously despised the flaws in how Aristotle carried them out, felt it was too discursive. Bacon simplified the method to focus on observations and systematically describing the object while being careful to avoid generalizing in the inductive reasoning process of what the observed facts can demonstrate. And then I saw your post…..”— A Friend
I think anyone who knows the of the development of scientific thought knows this. It’s cannon.
I think we’d say it’s Roger Bacon > { Newton + Francis Bacon + Galileo + Descartes} > …
And while we find arguments to the influence of Francis Bacon, and Descartes, they are minor compared to Newton and Galileo.
They were all relative contemporaries. Bacon and Galileo corresponded. But it was Galileo that gave us science finally, and he and Descartes led the battle against the church on behalf of Copernicus.

—“Rothbardian libertarianism is just the extremism of the Marxist prohibition on Private Property inverted into an the extremism of a Marxist prohibition on Common Property – despite the fact that property rights can only exist as a commons, and no polity can survive competition for people and trade, and against competitors without providing commons as the multipliers necessary to do so.”–Curt Doolittle:
