<<Does anyone know why such pains were taken to denigrate women in biblical times? There is an answer.>>

Ann, I would like to know! What is the answer? I read what you wrote in another post--are you saying that it is because the power of women frightened men, or that women were not warlike (men's favorite testosterone-based instinct and game).

I was listening to a Joseph Campbell interview with Bill Moyer from the "Power of Myth" series the other day. Campbell stated that the Jews were the first male-dominant religion, and then the Christians followed them. All of the earlier ones worshipped the Goddess.
