Was Eve (of Christian bible fame) a feminist?

Question

Also, would a non-feminist "real woman" housewife type have baked a pie?

Answer 1

eve wasnt a feminist, she was disobedient and there was never a lilth for crying out loud.

she baked bread and cooked meat, otherwise, they would hsave starved.

Answer 2

and just where did this "Lilith" come from?  According to the Bible from what I was taught lifetimes ago, Adam and Eve had two sons making this sound pretty incestuous just from a numbers point of view.

Answer 3

I baked a blueberry pie today and it was fabulous.  Too bad you're not getting any.  Hub and I had some and his kid got the rest.  I'll bake another one tomorrow.

Eve was a fairy tale.

Answer 4

No but Adam's first wife Lilith was.  

SHE would have kicked the snake's ***.

Answer 5

no, but apparently Lillith was    (Lillith Fair was named after her). she refused to submit to Adam. In my mind it went something like:

Adam: Hey, Lillith, get me a beer woman!

Lillith: wtf?!?! You can get your lazy f***ing self off the couch and get your own f***ing beer, you moron!

Adam: I need a new wife, hmm

-----Bing!!!------

Eve appears

Adam: How you doing?

yeah, im probably not right though

Answer 6

No she was mislead by a wicked Angle Statan the Devil who lied to Eve. In-turn Eve encouraged her husband Adam to follow the same path. Really that is why we are in the situation we are in today.  People not wanting to listen to Gods direction and being deceived  by the Devil.

Answer 7

Methinks She WAS... -afterall wasn't SHE smart enough NOT to take a bite from the Apple ?!! (Or was this a part of Her PLAN..! :0  ).    :)

Answer 8

Eve was the submissive one (or at least is portrayed that way).  Lilith was the kick @ss wife who, as Cougar (above me) pointed out, wouldn't have taken Adam or the snakes c**p.

EDIT--Lilith is about as real of a character as Eve--which isn't saying much.  She derived from a much older Mesopotamian goddess (Sumerian and possibly even Egyptian).  She is referenced here and there (including her role as a screech owl in the bible and also the handmaiden of the goddess Ishtar [Inanna]).  Her role as Adam's wife wasn't documented until around 700AD (give or take) although there is argument that her story was carried from oral traditions.  The idea of Eve having a predecessor wasn't a new one, though said predecessor didn't have a name until the story of Lilith came about.  But here is the excerpt from the Alphabet of Bed Sira:

After God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone.' He then created a woman for Adam, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air.

Adam stood in prayer before his Creator: 'Sovereign of the universe!' he said, 'the woman you gave me has run away.' At once, the Holy One, blessed be He, sent these three angels Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, to bring her back.

Said the Holy One to Adam, 'If she agrees to come back, what is made is good. If not, she must permit one hundred of her children to die every day.' The angels left God and pursued Lilith, whom they overtook in the midst of the sea, in the mighty waters wherein the Egyptians were destined to drown. They told her God's word, but she did not wish to return. The angels said, 'We shall drown you in the sea.’

'Leave me!' she said. 'I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty days.’

When the angels heard Lilith's words, they insisted she go back. But she swore to them by the name of the living and eternal God: 'Whenever I see you or your names or your forms in an amulet, I will have no power over that infant.' She also agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. Accordingly, every day one hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels' names on the amulets of young children. When Lilith sees their names, she remembers her oath, and the child recovers.

Answer 9

Fereshte, Lilith is only referred to one or two times in the Hebrew Talmud, and the Christian Old Testament: in Isaiah 34:14, and never as Adam's wife.  Little is known about her, beyond her babylonian origins (which agrees with the time that Isaiah was written, c 600 BC)and attributions that she was the first wife of Adam are purely apocryphal, and probably no better than fiction, based as it was on the Alphabet of ben Sira.

There is a lot of New Age allusion to Lilith, as there is to mary Magdelene, but the connections are more modren, and more in the nature of wishful thinking.

Eve a feminist?  I rather doubt it, in the modern context.  She certainly was not opressed, and the proper description of the Fall, in the original tongues has them both there at the time of temptation.  A proper read of genesis confirms this, albeit with some linguistic confusion.

Pies are a much later development, and i doubt the baking of them is disallowed under pretty much any societal paradigm, except maybe a Vegan culture.   The shortening, you understand....
