Lilith

WARNING: I am not male-bashing here. Not unless you are God or a sexual predator, rapist, etc. I'm trying to connect the effect that religious teaching has on the treatment of women with rape and all that good shit. (i know it may be a leap) I'm a severely pissed-off, bitter, and scarred girl. But with good reasons. Read on, if you will... We are victimized and villainized. Either we're raped or we kill. That's all we know. That's all we are. That's all we've done. According to Him. When You want someone to blame for the end of the Earth, just give us a call and walk all over us. Just tie us down. Burn us at the stake, as our sons watch in horror and learn their power; while our daughters learn to fear and obey. My vagina is my stigma. But You see it as Your toy. After You press my wrists into the sands, They'll ask me: "How did you provoke Him?" "What did you do?" "Nothing sir. So fuck you!" My breasts are merely snow-capped mountains there for You to conquer. So slip it into my drink and slap my ass. My hips are a maze, huh? Wind Your way around them and into me. VIOLATION, ANYONE?! You cannot see me through the crosses and the burning bushes. Although i'm bound with my chastity. He wants to keep me down. "Don't worry," i told Him. "i don't eat apples anymore, but i'll keep my cherry."if this has pissed you off. good. Lilith is the theoretical woman who came before eve. she is kicked out of eden because she wants equality and shit. there are other versions of the story, like she goes on to procreate with demons and such, but that is the basic gist of it. i suggest researching the different tales. you may learn something...
