Sexism is quite rampant in the Torah, considering the Hebrews were once
a very chauvinistic society when it was written. I find it my duty to site
the following verses and remind women of the sexist pig jehovah they are
told to worship. I can not possibly list all of the injustices that the
Torah mentions. Everything from the story of Lilith (who was booted out
of Eden for having dominant sex with Adam) to how women are blamed for the
fall from grace. I had to settle for merely presenting a sample list as
of right now and I shall add more verses as I thumb threw the Pentateuch a
second time. In the mean while, please feel free to utilize anything you
see here.
Genesis 3:16 Says that all women must suffer great pains during child
birth due to Eve eating the fruit of knowledge. (As if it is somehow just
that humans should pay for their ancestor’s sins nor is a woman dying in
labor some how befitting of a crime she did not commit.) The verse
finishes of by saying a husband shall “rule” over his woman, stripping us
off all power in between the sexes.
Genesis 19:8 Tells of a man named Lot who offers his daughters to a crowd
of would be angel rapers. Later, Lot impregnates his own daughters after
God kills his wife for simply looking back at the remains of her city.
Genesis 38:16-24 Tells a very interesting story of a man named Judah whom
lived with his widowed daughter in law. His daughter in law was grieving
and wearing the veils of mourning which Judah (a rather stupid man)
mistook for the clothing of a prostitute. He ended up impregnating his
daughter in law and she left the city. On a later date Judah sees the
young woman again and demanded she be burned for being a prostitute (I
like how only the woman is punished when THEY BOTH engaged in the sexual
act). It wasn’t until Judah recognized the woman as his daughter in law
and she was with his child, that he decided not to kill her. Basically,
Judah can commit incest, use a prostitute (in his mistaken perception),
and impregnate a MUCH younger woman, yet he thinks she is the one
deserving of death.
Exodus 21:3-4 Says that if a male slave is given a wife by his master
(regardless of how long they are wed, how much they love each other or if
they have kids) he can not leave servanthood with his wife or children.
The woman and children are merely property of the master and their
personal happiness or sanctity of family doesn’t matter.
