I agree.slj3988 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 08:35 Mankind was in a misogynistic state back then. The woman was seen as a childbearer and not much else. Biblical stories and often paintings placed the woman in the background, as if they had no importance. When less was understood about nature, men used to stone women on their period out of fear they were possessed. How many women were burned as witches for suffering mental illness?
To be true to the times, misogyny should be there so we don't forget our failures and can strive to do better.
This is not to say that God accepts misogyny, but the original biblical story does come across as misogynistic to me.
So, a book based on that, however fictional, is bound to show some of that sentiment.
