Re: blame women for evil I’m glad you brought this story up. It occurred to me that maybe it’s sometimes the default to blame women. We’re taught that it was Eve’s fault alone for the downfall for humanity and if I believed that, I may fall into the trap of thinking there was something inherently wrong with the divine/archetypal feminine. I look at this and think how things could have been different if Adam stood up for Eve, if he’d have defended her to God instead of throwing her under the bus. As an aside, I have been told in my weakness, in my moments of deep frailty, that I was “broken.” A man said this to me. I think he forgot that he was broken too because we all are. It was almost like an indictment of my character or lack thereof. It was as if what I lacked at the time made me less than him. This is why I think men and women need each other. When one is weak, the other is strong. Someone is always going to be to blame but, most likely, it’s both the man and the woman. As sandor pointed out, perhaps it’s men who haven’t fully embraced their masculinity who find it easy to make women out to be scapegoats.

You are making really good points here. I agree with both you and Sandor. Again, I don't think it is unintentional...as you have suggested...you and many other women fall into the trap of thinking there is something fundamentally wrong with the divine/female archetype...perhaps you feel something intuitively is wrong?? I suspect something like this. Something is wrong...yes. But not with you. And that is a non trivial observation when dealing with this issue. Broken - damn. That cuts deep. We use language in the most hurtful way at times. I feel for you there. While we may all be broken, perhaps we are not so broken that we can't lend a hand, or a kind word, to those in need. Your communications on this site speak volumes of your thoughtful kindness...and does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Always ever grateful to share communications with you. It isn't easy to absorb the amount of abuse that some are willing to 'share' with us. It can be brutal. And especially when they divide the sexes to keep us from sharing something that might actually help us. However, if at any earlier time in history, one was to point this out, they would gaslight us with the Bible and show us how fundamentally flawed women are...and there we go...they must be right...it is in the Bible. That is one heaving burden to have to carry....and why? So that effeminate men can feel less useless on this planet...something like that. They can be preachers....and demonize others...while their own internal demons wreak havoc in their lives....and others. If it isn't obvious...not a fan of the church or its employees. 🤣 ( As individuals...nothing but love for them) And here is the thing that must come as a shock to many....we are now going backwards in religion. Women are losing authority...weak men are ever more popular....by design...and it is working. When I was younger...I prayed for these religions to disappear. Literally. I hated religion in my youth and detest it now no less. Vile vile stuff. And now it is making a come back? wtf? But I also understand why so many are still held captive by religion, and again, it is all be design. What is most troublesome is that they are using language to do this, and I might have some ability to do something about it...not just me...but me too. And that kind of 'responsibility' can be annoying af. Let someone else clean up this mess...something like that. But as we all know...then nothing gets done. At this stage in life, I have a better understanding of the language than I did in my youth. As a child, I took as many beating as I could endure to not have to go to church...but, of course, to no avail. What can the broken and helpless do? If really, really lucky, they can build their defenses....body and mind...and hope that one day they will be given an opportunity to fight back..to speak out. And here we are. Good grammar and all.😇 Peace.

And the same to you, sir. You are a comfort to me. ❤️🙏 Language, like fire, can create or destroy. It’s all intentional.
