Where Do You Suppose Dr. Shedd Got His Opinion of Women?
| "One hundred women are not worth a single testicle." Confucius |
"The five worst infirmities that affect the female are indocility, discontent, slander, jealousy and silliness…such is the stupidity of women's character, that it is incumbent upon her…to distrust herself and to obey her husband." Confucian Marriage Manual |
"In childhood, a woman must be subject to her father; in youth to her husband; when her husband is dead, to her sons. A woman must never be free of subjugation." The Hindu Code of Man. |
"If a wife has no children after eight years of marriage, she shall be banished; if all her children are dead, she can be dismissed after ten years; and, if she produces only girls, she shall be repudiated after eleven years." The Hindu Code of Man |
"Blessed art thou, O Lord our God and King of the Universe, that thou didst not create me a woman." Orthodox Jewish prayer, used currently |
"Any woman who acts in such a way that she cannot give birth to as many children as she is capable of, makes herself guilty of that many murders…" St. Augustine |
"Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other…Good women are obedient…As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them…"(Dawood's version of the Koran, Quran, 4:34) |
"Let us set out womenfold on the road to goodness by teaching them…to display… submissiveness, to observe silence. Every woman should be overwhelmed with shame at the thought that she is a woman." St. Clement of Alexandria |
"Woman is defective and accidental…misbegotten…a male gone awry…the result of some weakness if the [father's] generative power." St. Thomas Aquinas |
"God created Adam lord of all living creatures, but Eve spoiled it all." Martin Luther |
"Man is the image of God…whereas woman reflects the glory of man." New Testament, I Cor.11 |
""Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent. Yet women will be saved through bearing children." NT, I Tim. 2 |
"It seems to me that nearly every woman I know wants a man who knows how to love with authority…our family Airedale will come clear across the yard for one pat on the head. The average wife is like that. She will come across town, across the house, across the room, across to your point of view…to give you her love if you off her yours with some honest approval." Dr. C.W. Shedd, Presbyterian minister, 1968 |
