Adam and Eve, Reinterpreted

One of the reasons I find the Adam and Eve myth so odious is the role to which it implicitly consigns women: second-fiddle organisms made out of the master sex’s cast-off rib parts. That’s one interpretation, anyway — but, given the way that women are treated in the rest of the Bible, it’s almost certainly the intended one.

However, there is another way to look at this. When you study the male form — with its various unsightly protuberances, its poor attention to design, its pitiless sublimation of form to function — it becomes clear that men were basically a little bit of divine throat-clearing before the main event. Which is to say: if you interpret the arrival of womankind as the introduction of Homo sapiens 2.0, with the worst design decisions corrected, and the unsightliest bugs excised — then the myth becomes a little more palatable, and a lot more accurate.

Ramsey! (or should I say, Lapsed Cannibal?)

I just read “Creature” in Weird Tales, and just “when a man and a woman love each other very muching”loved it! I came here to send you an e-mail saying so, but there seems to be only room for comments, no address.

Visit my site, you’ll see the sort of thing I’ve been publishing in the last few years, but I am teddibly happy to discover your work and hope to see more. I will have to comb your blog to find out more about ya and see more of your work. In the meantime write on, and hope you get to see some of my wordage, would love to hear what you might think of it.

Yours in the world of weird,

Terence
