Is my English faulty or not clear and simple enough so that my meaning somehow wasn't abundantly obvious?

“Here's the thing I object most to in our discussion,

It appears to me to me you are not in the least familiar with Jewish tradition beyond what is said on someone’s blog yet you make statements like this:

“Any role that a woman plays in a traditional society is either serving her husband or be not married, and therefore, a virgin.”

So good day and thanks but I really don't need any more regurgitations of Marshall's speculations. Understand now?

I should amend it: a respected woman in any traditional society is in one of three, not two states: a virgin; married; a widow. So a woman weaving, making incense and baking ceremonial breads in the temple, rather than in her husband’s house, would be a virgin, or possibly, if health permits, a widow. That is controversial?

All Marshall’s assertions that I presented here were substantiated by evidence from the Holy Scripture or from multiple independent sources in the Jewish written tradition.
