Ever since I was a kid, it pissed me off that Eve got blamed for the fall of man.
Like. The devil only appeared to one of the two people on earth. This extremely powerful supernatural being chose one mortal to have an audience with, so to speak. And who did he choose? The woman.
In another context, this would be a sign that he viewed her as the more important of the two. The leader. The one who called the shots.
And he was right. Culturally, Eve is painted as either foolish or downright evil for eating the fruit. The devil tempted her because she was weakest! I was taught that she led Adam astray, but the keyword there is "led." The devil knew she was leading her husband, not the other way around.
So Eve was convinced towards the sin by the literal devil (according to tradition, not the actual text), whereas Adam was convinced by... a human. Eve was persuaded by magic and supernatural forces of evil. Adam was persuaded to go against the wishes of God by his wife saying "Hey babe, try this fruit."
In what fucking UNIVERSE does that imply Eve was the weak one. If you take the story as traditionally told but throw out the sexist implications, Adam is a brainless idiot, with no understanding of consequences, who does whatever his spouse says. Eve is someone with agency, who the devil viewed as the real contender. The one who he needed to convince, because Adam's weak-willed self would fall into line with whatever Eve said.
It's really just part of the grand Christian tradition to demonize women who, you know, display agency. Or one tenth of the violence of their male counterparts (Jezebel sweetie you deserved better).
And it's infuriating to me especially in this instance, because I think the creation myth is such a FASCINATING story. Especially from a gendered perspective. But instead of being taught any of those interesting dynamics, I was told "Woman=evil" and sent home. And I am going to be mad about it forever.

things to say to bugs when science finally unlocks the secrets of human-bug communication:
im not hurting you i am taking you to a safe place
do you eat weird crumbs cause i found some im willing to share
you can bite me if you want but id rather be no-bite friends
i like your big colorful eyes, very stylish
please dont crawl into my sleeves
(sings a duet with a cricket)
#please don’t be in my shoes#can I interest you in a place that isn’t the corner of my bedroom?#why are you trying to crawl in my ear

I am unfortunately just like other guys. I like trashy horror, dog poems, cannibalism as a metaphor for obsessive devotion, religious imagery, people who use my name in a sentence, academic validation, lying for fun, being bisexual and bleeding out in the snow.
