After listening to misog-martin's rant, a question had surfaced - one i had thought over, some years ago. When the Lord did that surgery on Adam,

why didn't God make Eve to be more like Steve?  No, wasn't calling the King of kings into my office to give Him his annual performance rating.  Was simply asking a question.  Because the Lord foresaw the mess the couple, would get themselves - and their descendants - into, i believe, the Lord had reasons for having created Eve to think and act way - if not perplexingly - different from Adam.  

Bible scholars - ya know, them smart guys who can read arabic, greek, hebrew and latin,  say that, in the Bible women, generally, represent the church.  Well, even a 9th grade dropout knows that the church is in about every country.  There's eskimos, chinese, africans, itallians, irish...  Different cultures, with different ways of looking at things - like how to set the dinner table, is the salad served first, or is it the soup?  Basically, that kind of stuff.  

And that kind of stuff is enough to cause someone from one culture to look down his snoot at someone from another culture ... over how someone uses his hands while speaking.  So it goes beyond how some guy happens to hold his fork.

There was a certain group of people who were, for centuries, technologically backward.  They lived so far back in the woods, little trade - if any - came their way.  They didn't even have flint.  The area was nothing but loose soil and lots of greenery.  And oh brother, why bother building anything, because come the rainy season... But they really didn't need either flint, or buildings.  The climate was amiable, and food was reasonably plentiful - so, they didn't have to work all that much, and so basically, just hung out.  So, people from the north - where, if you didn't work, you froze or starved to death - are inclined to call those tropicals lazy.  

Anyway, have to wonder, when guys are scowling down women - for no better reason than that women are not men...where does it stop?
