The little feminist in me says:
The Bible just messes me up, because it says that I'm a second class citizen. Women were only declared human so men wouldn't be guilty of the sin of bestiality. I don't believe I am less than a man. I don't believe that I am not as smart as a man just because I'm not as strong. I don't believe that Adam was any less responsible than Eve for their lost innocence (and, according to some, Eve wouldn't have existed if Adam hadn't pissed Lilith off).
And I would rather believe that I am decended from apes than contemplate all of the inbreeding that started the human race.
