Isn most of the Bible and Christianity biased against women?

The Bible isn’t, particularly in the better translations. You are going to find references to men being the head of the household, but you will also find declarations about the status of women, according to God. Men and women come out pretty even in status in the eyes of God. Read it for yourself if you doubt me. Keep in mind that most of the Bible comes from patriarchal cultures, so patriarchy is bound to get an emphasis. God and Jesus had to work within the cultures they contacted to be understood. Also, though none of the twelve apostles were women, women were within Jesus’ inner circle, held status, and performed many important acts, such as discovering that Jesus had come back from the dead and had ascended to heaven. Again, the second most important commandment is: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Not: “You shall love your male neighbor as yourself, but only love your female neighbor if she knows her place.” Note there is no sexual discrimination in the Ten Commandment
