He's just as much of a sinner as Eve. He was literally right next to her when Lucifer tempted her and didn't say a thing about not eating the fruit. He was an entire adult who very easily could have told Eve not to eat the fruit and/or decided not to eat it himself. My (very conservative) pastor literally said that Adam is just as much at fault for not being a leader as Eve is for eating in the first place.
Also: if you go with the idea that because Adam is the Man™, that means He's The Only One Allowed To Make The Final Decision. He DIDN'T tell Eve no, meaning HE IS EQUALLY AT FAULT!
I really love how Adam is an asshole, because it is incredibly fitting. He was the first man on Earth, he was given permission to control Lilith and when Lilith didn’t want to lay beneath him he damned her. Adam is always seen as the victim in the Garden, tempted by the wiles of Eve and her weakness for evil and dragging him with her. He would be an asshole and not just that but one who for eternity thinks of women as lesser than him because it is his design.
There's a snack that I've been making a good portion of my life, I practically have the recipe memorized, but I STILL measure everything out Every. Single. Time.
Both The Boyfriend's mom and my own mother have done enough cooking in their lives that they don't *need* to use measuring utensils and they both use them when trying a new recipe!
if you're learning how to cook or branching out or feel like you just are not a very good cook or can't cook at all it is so important to know that when experienced cooks say they're measuring with their heart they are lying to you. They are measuring with their intuition, instinct, and experience, all of which are built by following recipes (written or taught by family), experimenting a lot, or some combination of the two: no matter how they learned, they learned it through cooking way more than you have. If you're trying to cook based on instinct or the assumption that you should just be able to figure it out and you don't like how your food comes out or you don't know where to start, find recipes and follow them to the letter. There is nothing wrong with looking up how to scramble eggs or make a stir fry. It will make your cooking better and easier, I promise.
i genuinely think it should be illegal to purposefully give someone food or drink with something they didn't ask for. no adding dairy milk, no lying about gluten, no giving regular vs diet soda, no meat in vegetarian/vegan food, none of it. that shit can make people so sick, and in some cases its literally life threatening. even if it doesn't make someone ill it's still a huge violation of their boundaries. there's a million reasons why people have dietary restrictions and it is not your job to deem them worthy of accomodating or not
