text: Thank you, 12th night, for adding this quote.  In my comment above, I didn't get to carry my thought out all the way to its conclusion, due to character limits.  We have projected all our discomforts about the nature of God and the world we inherited, onto Eve.  And therefore, by association, all women are objects of the projection.  This quotation is the premier example of a Christian theology that is unwilling to accept mysteries, paradoxes and confusion (remember that is of the devil!) and has to create a scapegoat.  The resulting suffering is legion.
