re: #137 FemNaziBitch

Yeah, I get stuck on that part too.

Yet the the disobeying part seems to be always linked to sex. Why did the first disobedience noted involve it?

I think the reason it gets linked to sex (especially in cases where fundies want women to cover up their bodies) is that, in the story, Eve ate the fruit* first, and then brought it to Adam, “tempting him” to eat the fruit. Therefore, women are temptresses.

It takes some squinting, but I’ve heard that “logic” presented in sermons before, and I’m positive that’s part of the reason for so much misogyny.

* The fruit was never called an apple in Genesis.
