In the poem “God Says Yes to Me” by Kaylin Haught depicts God as a female rather than male which is most commonly seen in most religions. Her representation of God is seen to support her in all things regardless of its little importance. It is known that religion has been used to oppress women by enforcing gender roles and making men more dominant over women. The myths in which we talked about in the chapter such as God’s creation and Eve tempting Adam. Those are some forms in which religion has influenced the oppression of women. In addition, the idea that men are valued more than women because God created Adam first and the Eve for her to serve him. However, Haught’s representation of God is empowering her to do what she wants and to be herself.
