In reply to the discussion: Bob Jones University told rape victims to repent and look for ‘root sin’ that caused their attack [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)4. I wonder, then, how it is that so many are fooled by it. Let's ask a feminist from 100 years ago.
"From the birth of the Church, out of the womb of Fear and the fatherhood of Ignorance, it has taught the inferiority of woman. In one form or another through the various mythical legends of the various mythical creeds, runs the undercurrent of the behef in the fall of man through the persuasion of woman, her subjective condition as punishment, her natural vileness, total depravity, etc.; and from the days of Adam until now the Christian Church, with which we live specially to deal, has made Woman the excuse, the scapegoat for the evil deeds of man."
I guess she was mistaken.
