1 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

She left Eden, God subsequently gave his lonely firstborn boy more subservient but manipulative Eve, who ended up screwing things up for ALL humankind after listening to the snake in the grass and whispering in Adam's ear about greener grass post-apple.

Regarding women though Bill Burr has been fucking with my head
I buy the above about as much as the religious bigotry that claimed non-white races were "subservient" based on Bible passages, too, or per our terrorist enemies and their holy tome of choice, that we are all "infidels" [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkGreen]deserving death and destruction for our disbelief in their diety Originally Posted by Fancyinheels
