At first I believed the author to have been sarcastic as he described a woman. He sounded as if he was saying what a woman wanted to hear as he described her beauty and perfection. However, as he continued there were moments where I saw some truth. The clique of Christians in China and various other countries is an older, widowed woman. So when he called women religious I could follow that. But then he completely cleared women of the original sin which I do not completely agree. He claimed it was Eve's ignorance that cleared her, but I have met men who are equally ignorant to some of the women I have spoken to. Finally, as a woman I do not want the weight of being called religious and holy compared to men. My sin is no better than any man's sin. Although this might have been meant as a compliment, to me it was a burden that I can not meet.
P.S. I commented on Collins!
Yes! I forgot about that in my blog! It has been thought that this writing is satirical(?) in origin. If so, then wow. I'm really offended for all you women.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. The nerve and/or ignorance of this guy blows my mind.
