StG,
My take:
I think it might be the emotional part that causes
issues for men.
I wonder if that’s not a characteristic of man that causes him to perhaps equate the emotional part of woman as her being “deceived”. The implication is that men, at times, believe because she is “emotional” she is deceived: “emotion=deceived”.
The woman was given to man as a helper. Could it be that the emotions of woman, created by God, are meant to balance perhaps the strong (perhaps stubborn) will of man (also created by God)...to help him...to help each other through situations that call for a balance of “mind, emotion and will”?
The man who was not deceived, but willfully sinned, is held accountable for the fall of man. The woman was deceived, admitted it, was likely “emotional”, but was blessed as the vessel to bring forth the Savior.
Could we say “women are more easily emotional” while men are more easily stubborn? I'd be interested in getting the take of others on these questions. I hope it's not too harsh.
