Wo-Man in the Bible

So, Mrs. (Dr?) Sexson started the discussion off with a metaphor between Eve and the purification of women after menstruation. Which is an interesting position to hear from, especially after reading Plotz all semester, and how women in the Bible are only whores and do not serve a real purpose. But as we see in Hosea 2 (as Sexson showed us), Hosea continues to take back his wife repeatedly even though she strays away from him just as Yahweh takes Israel and the Israelites back a number of times. This allows us to see the women's larger part in the Bible; they are an extremely important lesson for us to see. We all make mistakes and need to be taken back by the ones we love because if we are thrown aside we will not truly learn from our mistakes. Which is important for us to learn in a religious class because it is all about learning from our mistakes. We fucked up, Jesus was crucified, and if we don't learn anything from it then he died for no reason. So what were we supposed to learn from the Bible? There are so many words and Frye makes it sound much more complicated than it truly is. Frye makes every word sound so needy and important but why? The Bible was written thousands of years ago, over thousands of years, and lots of work went into it. But I feel this much work went into it so it is somewhat understandable and Frye attempts to ruin my thoughts of this but he won't, I will hold out.
