"....look like the innocent flower, / But be the serpent under't," saith Lady Macbeth; whilst instructing her husband on how to commit a crime that had it said of him,
"Not in the legions
Of horrid hell can come a devil more damn'd
In evils to top Macbeth."
And that, indeed, is what the average woman is; regardless of how promiscuous, regardless of how chaste, regardless of how heretical, regardless of how devout - a serpent, masquerading as an innocent flower.
Show me your friends, goes an ancient adage; and I will tell you who you are. Not necessarily who you were, before those friends were yours. But definitely who you are, as long as those friends are yours. And the closest friend of the average woman (like that of the Eve who is their ancestress; and, obviously, from the characteristics most often disguised by the camouflage of their supposed subservience) is the serpent that opened her gender's eyes to the difference between good and evil. Men are shaped not only by heredity, but also by environment - and, most especially, by the friends that introduce them to that environment. And the closest friend of the average woman ever since The Fall of Man, I repeat, has been the serpent that caused The Fall.
Men, on the other hand, have always been more like Him Who was the first companion of their ancestor - Adam. And (consciously, or subconsciously; willingly, or unwillingly) they have always taken on a very great number of His characteristics. Whether there is really any wrong in that, I am yet to conclude. But the conclusion that I hope is all right (despite the sin that the loo is accused of; that saith he says, "I will be like The Most High") is imbued in the words, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
Yet - and regardless of that which may be - I do know that the major difference between the transparent Good that GOD is, and the concealed Evil that The Devil is; is what created the major difference between the average man and the average woman. The difference that has Christian nations (presently known as "Western" nations) wage war primarily with espionage; whilst I am yet to come across a Moslem country that lays such emphasis on espionage that it wars with the nudity plundered by secret service organisations. The difference that has the object of the most stones ever from Christendom - Allah - be more like unto The LORD that saith, "Do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to The LORD, lest He break out against them;" than is the image of the Jesus Christ ever given by The Hypocrisy that is Christianity - that saith unto his followers, "Be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves." The difference that is the reason behind the average man (even when he is the most notorious criminal exposed before all the eyes on the earth) being actually no more than a busy man trying to do exactly what the one true good God has ordained him to do - work. Whilst the average woman (even when she is the most disciplined housewife concealed from the eyes of all the earth) is actually no more than an equally busy woman trying to do what The Devil has ordained her to do - sin. The difference that has The Power of Woman be of she that has her eyes open to the knowledge of good and evil, with her choice that of evil; whilst The Man with his eyes thus open, has Power only when his choice is Good.
Men usually claim gentility when they refuse to hurt a woman; be it physically, or in any other way. However, the oft' concealed truth is that they are being swayed by the allure of the beauty they see her as, and the flower she pretends to be; and - blinded either by lust, or naivete - they are unable to se the serpent lurking beneath the comely facade. The phallus crumbling with each one of the coitus with which it claims conquest, whilst the pit into which it then falls widens with each conquest then of the vagina. Look at the "innocent" woman. And see The Devil within her.
When Macduff referred to Macbeth as the most evil devil in Hell, the reader of those words - if with enough insight - would inevitably have to (sooner, or later) conclude that Lady Macbeth indeed it was who deserved that description, and who in actual fact was that devil. It is not the bloodied hand that should be condemned for a murder, but the man it belongs to. Thus the murder that is of the emasculated man being mothered, even when he is slaughtered by the iranu that has him be a victim of slut ta. And men, throughout all history, have very rarely ever been anything other than weak(d)ead swords in the hands of their cunning servants - or, should we say? serpents....the women.
