Ephesians 5: 21-24
Give way to one another in obedience to Christ. Wives should regard their husbands as they regard the Lord, since as Christ is the head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is the husband the head of his wife; and as the Church submits to Christ, so should wives to their husbands, in everything.

1 Corinthians 11: 7-9
A man should certainly not cover his head, since he is the image of God and reflects God's glory; but a woman is the reflection of man's glory. For man did not come from woman; no, woman came from man; and man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman was created for the sake of man.

1 Corinthians 6: 5-6
Slaves, be obedient to the men who are called your masters in this world, with deep respect and sincere loyalty, as you are obedient to Christ, not only when you are under their eye, as if you had to please men, but because you are slaves of Christ and wholeheartedly do the will of God.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

All of these sources are well-renowned for closed-mindedness, mysoginy and squalor at the times these sayings were drawn. Challenge this and I promise you I'll give a half-dozen examples for each.

How entertaining.

One of you actually took note of the initial point.

I am pleased.

Exactly that, I suppose. To draw attention to something that often goes ignored, or refused as an imposibility in our "enlightened" times.

Whenever laws like that are made, it's usually out of paranoia.

Someone trying to protect themselves from the aftereffects of behavior already ingrained in their own habits.

Humanity never ceases to amaze ... even back then.

hey, it was not our fault (mans) that Eve was too easily influenced and ate the apple.....stupid bitch!.....oh well, i for one found the thread entertaining and very comical in some aspects, although i do not justly believe in any of the proverbs/laws, nor do i regard woman as objects and what not, but i will however justify that the porverbs in their time were as just and as mundane as our laws on driving

oh please... i find this arguement's foundation soley based on the sexual frustration that comes from the concept of romantic love. you didnt have this kind of arguement in islam until western culture became a dominant power in the world.

everyone just take a step back and realize the ridculousness of this discussion...

i wasn't really aware their was a discussion, but now that you mention the idea that such ideas were birthed simply as a product of romantic love, hmm, i think you are correct

i read the whole post. it was rather comical until i read the sig of the guy that posted it. i always heard of the opression in china back in the day. the sayings were really bad, i never realized it was that sexist over there. anyways, i do agree that women are very, very scandalous. but like misogynist said, it's in evil inherent in humans in general. women just have an outlet for that evil that men don't have. which of course is beauty and pussy. and that translates into power, which gives a woman leverage to do many things. it's funny to see the reactions of the men in these cultures though. reactions, that are just as evil, if not more evil, then the malice and selfisness believed to be stowed away in the hearts of all these women.


i am stupid.

and i don't think these ideas were birthed of romantic love, they were birthed of men's selfishness, insecurity, and fear.
