As-salamu alaykum - I’ve never properly read the Qur'an and I’m scared to start

As-salamu alaykum brothers and sisters, I’ve never read the Qur'an beyond a few pages of Surah al-Baqarah. Arabic is my first language, so it’s not a language issue. The thing is, every time I try to begin, I’m afraid I might come across something that could shake my iman. I don’t think my faith is very strong right now, and that’s why I want to read the Qur'an and draw closer to Allah. But I’m so scared I’ll read something that I’ll find troubling, especially regarding women’s issues. I know I shouldn’t call Allah’s words problematic, and I’m not sure how to explain what I’m feeling. Sometimes I feel like I’d be better off not knowing. I can’t talk to my parents because I’m worried I’ll worry them. My family is religious but not overly conservative, and I have a healthy relationship with religion-yet things I see online sometimes rattle my iman. I do dhikr, I fast, I don’t skip my prayers. I dress modestly by choice and try to follow the sunnah where I can. I do most of what I’m supposed to do, but reading the Qur'an is the one thing I know I should be doing and I’ve been avoiding it. Has anyone else felt like this? How did you get past it? Please be gentle-I’m really trying my best to reconnect with Islam. It feels strange learning about my own religion even though I grew up with it. Sorry if this is messy, I’m just tired and needed to put this out there.
