You may have heard that women and men are identical
or at the very least should be treated thusly
that equity between the sexes
is the harbinger of perfect equality attained
Let me appeal to make the differences between men and women a little clearer.
In the book of Genesis
the serpent salaciously tempts Eve to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil
she bites
in turn presenting the fruit to Adam whom the Lord instructed first not to eat of it
Adam was
effectively
Eve’s leader
God’s 1st human servant in command
After eating it
sinning, and understanding nakedness
Adam and Eve hid from God.
Confronting them
God cursed the serpent first
woman second
and man last
but he received the harshest punishment between the sexes
While woman’s pain would be multiplied in childbearing and her desire would be towards her husband who would rule in their relationship, the man would no longer be able to freely eat of the fruit of the Garden of Eden. He was the one who would have to labor for food and work the ground.
God built the foundation
man labors to build the house
woman labors to furnish it
God creates life
man exerts to support it
woman exerts to give birth
These works are different but build toward the same end. Celebrate the life we share and the differences we have each second that we get to spend.
