There are many people who think that the ten commandments are the laws of life and are the only rules to live by. Whats funny is that most of those same people can not tell you what those ten commandments are. Well the fifth commandment says
Thou shall not commit adultry
Sounds good right? But what does that mean? THe style of marriage was polygamy in those days, 300 years later King Solomon had 1000 wives, but yet was a man of God and the earths wisest king? What was meant by this commandment? Woman were considered property in those days, so to commit adultry was to take another mans wives or wife, being that she was a household item.
The tenth commandment says
Thou shall not covet they neigbors wife
Well first, if you keep reading it goes on to say "nor his ox or his ass", so we can see what woman were though of. Also how come there is no commandment about a wife coveting a neighbors husband? Because the law was written for men, by men.
Also according to Genesis the fall of mankind is blamed on Eve, which perpetuated the thought that woman was the reason for the fall of mankind. (for those of you who would like to continue thinking this is the real story, why is your problem with eve? Shouldn't you be angry at Adam?) Why do woman get this rep? It reminds me of when the colonialists lied to the Africans about their heritage and history, so that they would lose the sense of what and who they really were. So maybe man wasn't first, maybe woman was first, so man made the efforts to erase this from the womans mind so that she wouldn't know who she was.
if you go to dictionary.com and look up words like
Skank, Prostitute, Whore, Slut, Cunt, Hooker and so forth, you will see that they come from the Indo-European language, and guess what, they are all feminine.
Hail up Empresses, know yourselves, love yourselves.
