Eve Was Framed

I have been seeing this bumper sticker around town, and it has a feminist tinge to it. I can envision someone complaining that Eve is innocent, good and pure from birth, and that the Father Sky God, Adam, her husband, and masculine Jewish and Christian ecclesiastical authorities framed  her as the culpable willing tool through which Satan and evil entered the world.

Eve was framed in the sense that all humans have been framed. We never had a chance. The cosmic forces are all aligned against us making it. Eve, like all of us, is tainted by original sin, so the natural thing to do is to give into temptation when offered by the snake. She, like all of us, was framed in the context of being given a very weak nature and weak will, so the urge to sin was overwhelming.

There is a symbolic undercurrent at work here that women naturally are more evil than man. I think that is implied, and I think the portrayal is accurate.

Women are naturally more emotional and more collectivist than men. Men are a bit more rational and individualistic, so these natural traits make them attracted to good a bit more, and repelled by evil a bit more than are women.

I guess I accept that the fall from grace and the concomitant fate of being tossed out of the garden of Eden is a bit more Eve's fault than Adam's fault.

That said, I would like to add two qualifications before feminists and the Left excoriate me. First, women are naturally smarter than men, so if we can nudge them out of groupist existence, and working along the path to personal individuation, they very well may lead the pack and be among the best and brightest of God's angels.

Second, with proper upbringing, a woman can still be maternal and social while self-actualizing; with training and willingness to live as individuators, it should be easy to swing smart, awake women to the side of good. Eve was framed, but in the long run, it does not matter very much. Quit worrying about the past. Quit obsessing about where we came from. You women now know your mission, and where you need to concentrate your attention and efforts.
