Women Can't Be Trusted Because Eve Gave Adam The Apple. It's Women's Fault.

We are in our present predicament because of Eve. That is the only way to explain the fundamentalists fetish to control women their entire lives. The original betrayal in the eyes of the fundamentalists means that they cannot be trusted to manage their own bodies. Maybe that is why these people will never change.

subjugate women. Religion is just the way to organize society based upon the supposed highest authority - God. Control of women was essential because they are something to be feared. Their intuition is frightening and their intimate knowledge of the husband can serve as a threat if not controlled. Making the woman responsible for original sin takes care of all those problems.

Fundamentalists believe it is their divine right and duty to control women but their real reason for doing so is fear.

The greatest fear of a fundie is for a boy to lose to a girl. That's the real reason fundie men (if you want to call them men) use religion to to subjugate, control, oppress, and dominate women instead of lifting women up.

They can't fathom the idea that a women may have sex for any other reason than pre-creation.

After all, God told them that childbirth was the "women's burden" for having seduced Adam.

Makes me think God should have just stuck to the original plan and continued to make people out of other peoples short ribs.
