In the first three chapters of Genesis, God created Space, Earth, and all of its inhabitants. It establishes a sexist stance in life by having women come from men and God telling Adam man has right to rule over all land but the Garden of Eden. The aspect of sexism was very prevelent in my life growing up. My dad made the executive decision and when I asked my mom if I could do something it was always "ask your dad." Christianity in general was always around when I was growing up. I was forced to go to a church where questions were not welcome and we were expected to sit and accept. Questions on interpretation were not welcome. When my dad moved to Oklahoma with it went his false intentions in living a holy, sin free, forgiven life. Thats where my personal connections with this exerpt ends. The male superiority message that is sent is still around today, just not in my life.
