    "To the woman He said,
    'I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
    with pain you will give birth to children.
    Your desire will be for your husband,
    AND HE WILL RULE OVER YOU.'" (Gen. 3:16)
    So what if one rib was more perfect than the whole body? D">

      I'm no feminist, but I don't agree with that. And there are plenty of other biblical quotes supporting equality of the sexes.

                I'm no chauvinist either. I just took the verse out of context as a joke. Anyway, here is a commentary from Matthew Henry:
                "That woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be EQUAL with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved."

                      What is there to deny, in the first place?
                      The reason I didn't want to dally on the sexual orientation of the members is that such comments -- even if they were meant in jest -- smacked of bigotry, and continuing the discussion might just open the door for some attention-hungry Eminem-wannabe to broadcast his gay-bashing manifesto here.
                      Hopefully things may not turn out as seriously imagined, but let's be sensitive to the other members in our living community. Of course, I admit that "cheap joke" was a bit too insensitive on my part.
