Ho, ho Mr Scripture. Punishment has nothing to do with sin. You, (and women) were going to be punished regardless because your little fairy placed a magic curse on the unlucky couple, the ground beneath their feet, and their children, and their children's children so on and so forth.
There are plain currents of sexism and bigotry in the OT, which is unsurprising, because we have every reason to consider the source a sexist and xenophobic culture. It isn't your god being an asshole here, because he doesn't exist. It's the ghostwriters, and those who subscribe to this as the inerrant word....so I guess that lands you in the same camp. It's probably unintentional on your part, since you didn't seem to learn anything at all when "studying scriptures". Ignorance isn't much of an excuse, but at least you have one. You should probably hold off the "grow up" barbs until you ditch your imaginary friend and stop believing in magic spells.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
