The caveat, of course, being that we can only take it as it appears. That is, unless you have some smoking gun proof that it was changed by those 'nefarious' men.
Is taking the story for its word, the same as taking it for ‘as it appears’?
I have knowledge of something that I believe holds relevance to the topic; which does imply that the story is only one piece of the truth. In order to understand the whole picture, one needs to look into many mythologies.
However, I am also of the belief; everyone is entitled to their own belief on the subject.

What never ceases to amuse me is how when a woman is bashing man, abusing a man, or attempting to over-generalize men, it's taken as comedy, satire, or a kudos that she's 'getting one back for her oppressed sisters.' Yet when a man does any of those same things, it's soooooo wrong and evil.
I only thought of the material in the link as ‘cute’, in full recognition that not all men would feel the same, but there was a distinct possibility that some would, and others would join to be kool. I do not see the affliction as a male issue, and most often speak of “man” as the species, not just males. Also, my use of the term, “Man” is often in reference to an image that I ‘stumbled’ upon, and is indicative of the traits humans inherited from "Adam".
As far as generalizations, I used one for each sex in my original post; personally, I, regardless of being female, almost never crave chocolate.
I won't touch on my thoughts of "wrong" and "evil" here, I tend to get carried away, and am not even sure the conversation has not drifted off topic due to my origanal post, or maybe that was the second post. [&:]

But such is the case from those who cry out for equality while secretly wanting nothing of the kind.
An oversight in terminology, if you ask me; some women are so much more capable then some men (of course, the opposite is true). Personally, I only ask to be allowed to reach full capabilities; forget equal.
