 Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
  C.S. Lewis

I've read the Bible, but I felt like a lot of the Bible was oppressive towards women. Then I read the Quran, and I thought it was also oppressive towards women.

 Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

  C.S. Lewis
