Journal entry #2

I think that the restrictions that were put on women, because there was a sense of fear, and in the bible people thought women were a sin because the first person to sin was Eve. Also the women were told that their only purpose was so that they could bare children. Also if women got an education it would be on their religion, making them believe more that they were a sin, and this made them more reliable for men. They were not saw as dangerous, but in fact they were because many women died during child birth. Men were encouraged to beat their wives so I guess they thought what they were doing was OK. I think that there were a lot of childish rules, like if a women was sexually active before marriage they would be in trouble, but men would be encouraged to do that.
