How about the entire book?
Look, you start with Eve tempting Adam and it all goes to heck in a handbasket. And again, women are pretty 2 D, either very very good (Ruth, Esther, Mary) or very very bad (Eve, Jezebel, Salome). No going from point A to salvation for them. Granted, there was Mary Magdeline, but geez louise, it was like they were "OK, she's here, now lets not talk about her!"
Fear of women (& their sexuality) and a total lack of understanding permeates the entire book. I'm not a feminist....I'm just someone who gets annoyed with authors who don't know their subject matter very well. While I've read of a few 3D males in the Bible that I can understand, I've never ever read of a real, 3D female. They just aren't there.
And it's pretty clear that unless you marry, you can't have sex. So, if you want to have sex (which is a normal human drive) you need to marry.
Problem is, you often find yourself bound to someone you don't like, much less love. I've seen just as many miserable marriages inside a church as I've seen happy. And I've seen more than one ole church widder woman taking off and actually coming alive after her husbands death. And I've seen fewer yet remarry. Not out of grief, but because (to quote several) "Don't wanna have to put up with a man tellin' me what to do". That was actually said to me in the vestibule one Sunday by Miss Mala come to think of it.....
ANYHOW>.....
I took three steps back and I looked at life, sex, relationships, the world etc for what it was. Yes, I strongly believe in marriage for raising children. I fostered enough kids to know that two strong adults (of both genders ideally) are necessary for controlling and raising children.
But, once you're out of your childbearing years. What then? The drive is still there but so is the need for a good relationship with a good person that actually knows you for who you are (and often, spouses ain't that person).
There is the reality of what goes on and then there is the painted ideal picture. Again, I have no regrets. Oddly, these posts I'm saving because they have caused me to put thoughts into words.
A good thing. Thank you for the questions.
