Billions inherit the "Eve" Curse

Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

In Genesis 3 is the story of the serpent talking Eve into questioning the commandment to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  God promised that eating of the fruit of the tree would bring about death.  The serpent told Eve that it would not cause death, but instead she would be as gods, knowing good and evil.  Eve ate the fruit and gave to Adam and then they realized that they were naked.  As the story goes, God was walking about in the garden looking for Adam and Eve. Everyone starts blaming everyone.  Adam blames Eve and Eve blames the serpent.  God proceeds to curse the serpent and Eve and Adam and eventually kicks them all out of the garden.  The above bible verse is Eve's curse. 

The curse of pain and sorrow in childbirth and the curse of male dominance is transferred to "all" women for all time and sets in motion the last 6,000 years of male domination of women and girls. 
The curse is for women to be treated unequally and dominated.  The male dominance of women in the hebrew culture, the islamic culture and the christian culture has it's roots in this curse.  All of these religions have their roots in the deserts of the middle east.  The west has fully adopted the above story as "sacred truth" and "infallible" words of God and believe every word literally without question.  The catholic church holds fast to it's exclusion of women into the priesthood and uses stories and scripture like the above as validation of the belief women are not to be allowed equal designations of opportunity within the church.  Protestant religions have not been any kinder to women either.  Thankfully, through the feminist movement that began in 1850 and through the competent rule of european queens has this "curse" on women been eased.  Paul was very hard on disallowing women equality in his writings.  It is imperative that women continue to work for safe healthcare delivery systems where women can safely birth children and that women not lose sight of  the progress of the gains of feminists who have gone before us.  We must prove our value and intellect and competence and continue to pave the way of a "curse" free culture for our daughters and granddaughters.
