We Are All Women

One of the most interesting points which was mentioned within the topical realm of the Bible entailing a patriarchal societal structure. But moreover, this structure doesn't mean that the human male is the top of the hierarchy. Also, there are only two levels; those being the "Father" and the "Mother." Of course according the Bible, everytime the Lord our God is the "Father." He's the man of the house, and we, the people of the world, are the "Mother(s)" inside His inconceivably huge house.

Now, unless there's three level to the hierarchy which might look like: 1.) "Divine" 2.) "Father" 3.) "Mother." If this is the case then the human women are biblical subordinates of the human men who are subordinates of God. It's a matter of chain-of-command. But, this wasn't the argument which struck me in class. This argument keeps everything more straightforward and less politically complex by having God as the "Father" and men and women as the "Mother." Think about it. What are two of the most important things in order to keep order. We need the earth and women. I'll end by making two hasty generalizations. "Mother Earth" came before anything in the Bible, except for maybe light and Heaven, but those don't pertain to this gander unless you want to argue that Heaven supports patriarchy (which it might). No matter. Lastly, linguistically "Eve" means the mother of all living. Hypothetically, if Eve hadn't have been created or present then her creation and presence filled the void for the first "Mother." She allowed procreation to proceed much alike of what "Mother Earth" has allowed.
