Women were among his disciples, which I understand was unusual for a Rabbi at that time. I recommend Sarah Bessey's Jesus Feminist for further reading.
Your reading assignments (well, no, you don't have to read them all, but once you get started you might not want to stop)
And then there's this book, about which I hear great things.
If you're interested in some other perspectives, you may like Jesus, Feminist by Sarah Bessey, or A Year of Biblical Womanhood' by the inimitable Rachel Held Evans.
Pretty much every Christian leader I respect is a committed feminist. Not least my wife, who is an exceptionally gifted elder, teacher and pastor.
You're not alone! I've deconstructed a lot of the ridiculous fundy beliefs that I was raised with but Jesus is far too compelling to let go of. It's amazing how much bad theology isn't clearly reflected in scripture (which is also plainly fully of errors). You may find some support and refuge in places like:
The Liturgists Podcast and community
Books like Shameless or Jesus Feminist or God and the Gay Christian
Progressive churches (which you might locate more easily using Church Clarity)
Subreddits like /r/openChristian or /r/gayChristians
I'm sorry for all the ways that the church and cultural Christianity has been confusing and hurtful. If you ever want to chat some time feel free to send me a message. <3
