re: #75 OhNoZombies!
Seems to me, that if I were a leader in a patriarchal religion, and one of the fundamental ideas is that men were created in god the creator’s image, and I realized that it’s women who bear the weight of perpetuating the species, I would feel that this undermines my authority. It appears that women are creators in their own right.
The best way to remedy that, is to belittle those sinful, apple-eating womerns, and try to take possession of the power of reproduction.
Not only that, but blame women for the downfall of the species and build a whole doctrine around it.
