Philosopher: Please identify which, if any, of the following are from medieval Christian or Islamic religions:

Bereishis 3:16, Bereishis 18:12

Tehilim 45:11-12, which the Menoras Hame’or 2:176 says teaches us that a wife should not view her husband as an equal but rather as her master.

Shulchan Aruch, Y.D. 240:17, which explicitly states wives are subservient to their husband.

Ben Yehoyada, Menachos 43b, which says so as well.

Rambam, Hilchos Ishus 15:20, which states a wife must do all her deeds according to what her husband says, she should fear him and he should be in her eyes as a ruler or king.

אגרות משה אורח חיים חלק ד סימן עה

As far as listening, Bava Metzia 59a says a husband who listens to his wife on matters of religion/ruchniyos issues will end up in gehenom.
