摘要
The practice of assigning gender to artefacts and natural objects is common but not universal in religions. Treating objects, substances, and places as gendered is a form of anthropomorphism that both expresses and furthers gender ideals and power relationships among people based on gender distinctions. The degree to which sacred objects are gendered varies, reflecting how important gender is in particular religious worldviews.
