Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5

Summary

This quote refers to the biblical account of Adam and Eve being tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden. The serpent incites Eve's desire to eat from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, promising that if they do so, humanity will gain the knowledge of good and evil, making them equal to gods. The quote captures the serpent's manipulation of human ambition, suggesting that acquiring wisdom and moral discernment can elevate oneself to divine status. Ultimately, Adam and Eve disobey God's command and eat the fruit, leading to their expulsion from paradise and the introduction of sin in human existence.

Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now.
