I came across this very interesting piece…What do you think❓❓❓
🍎 THE GARDEN OF MISOGYNY
The Genesis problem.
Genesis opens with a contradiction that is rarely discussed.
In one chapter, man and woman are created together, at the same time, from the same earth. Literally formed from the same soil.
In the very next chapter, the story changes.
Now man is created first. Woman is made second. She is fashioned from Adam’s rib to be his “helper”. Her name is Eve.
So who was the woman in the first chapter, before Eve?
And why does she disappear?
⸻
🖕🏼 LILITH
Later scribes gave the “first woman” a name.
Lilith.
It wasn’t chosen at random.
Lilith closely resembles Lilitu, one of the most feared entities in the ancient world. Originating in Mesopotamia, the Lilitu were described as foul night spirits. Untameable. Wild. Nightmares blamed for infant death and unexplained terror.
They represented a femininity that served no man and produced no heirs.
So why did the woman created equal to Adam receive this name?
Because she refused to submit.
She didn’t eat an apple.
There were no rivals.
There was no betrayal.
Her crime was simpler and more threatening.
She believed she was Adam’s equal because she was made from the same dust. Even sexually, she refused to always be beneath him. She wanted equality, not hierarchy.
For that, she was cast out.
The scribes linked her to Lilitu, rewrote her as a demon, and removed her from the story as she “walked into the desert”.
The lesson they were immortalising was clear:
If a woman demands equality, she is a monster that must be expelled.
Don’t believe it?
Then look at what they did next.
⸻
🐍 EVE
The story continues with Eve.
Unlike Lilith, Eve is not made from earth. She is made from Adam. From his rib. Designed to be the helper.
Hierarchy restored.
Until Eve shows independent thought.
She listens.
She questions.
She seeks knowledge.
When the serpent suggests she eat the fruit to gain understanding, Eve does exactly that.
How did men write this moment?
As courage?
As intelligence?
As the birth of human awareness?
No.
They called it Original Sin.
Eve becomes the reason humans understand shame, fear, regret, pain, and suffering. Knowledge itself is framed as the curse.
The lesson is unmistakable.
The lesson of Lilith:
Women who demand equality are demons.
The lesson of Eve:
Women who seek knowledge bring suffering to the world.
⸻
🏺 PANDORA
And the idea wasn’t even original.
Greek mythology tells the same story centuries earlier.
Pandora, the first woman, is given a box by Zeus and told never to open it. She is curious. She opens it.
Out pours pain, disease, and suffering into the world.
Different culture. Same script.
A woman disobeys divine instruction.
Humanity pays the price.
⸻
🔥 WITCHES
Fast forward.
Only five hundred years ago, this mythology stopped being symbolic and became law.
Strong, independent women.
Self-sufficient women.
Women who healed, spoke, or lived alone.
Witches.
Burned alive.
⸻
Joan of Arc is one of the most famous examples of how feminine strength was reframed as evil and punished accordingly. She was burned alive for Heresy - HER esy
⸻
TODAY
The fire is gone.
The backlash remains.
Modern women still fight for equality and still face ridicule, abuse, and double standards. Leadership is labelled aggression. Autonomy is treated as arrogance. Sexual history is weighed like evidence.
These reactions aren’t accidental.
They are the inheritance of stories written in fear.
The monster was never Lilith.
Never Eve.
Never Pandora.
They were the original heroes.
The monsters are those who continue to control others through narrative or actions.

ANCIENT EGYPT
The Kemetic culture had no such problem with Women. The Egyptians used to believe in duality which is balance and equality for order to be maintained.
The deity of order and justice was female: Ma’at.
The deity whe saved and ressurected Osiris was female: Isis.
Man and Woman created the Universe through Geb and Nut. She who bore all the Gods, is always depicted as being on top of Geb.
