The Human Eye: A Double Standard?

[Pyrrho]

Genesis 3:

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Damn.... I gotta show this to my bossy catholic wife!

There are quite a few Bible verses that denigrate women.  Here is a link to a list, though I warn you to double check every reference, as the person who compiled the list tends to go overboard sometimes:

But make sure you look at things carefully, as you would not want to miss out on Matthew 19:29 (and Mark 10:29-30 and Luke 18:29-30), where Jesus states that it is good to abandon your wife and children to follow Jesus; 1 Corinthians 11:3 tells you that a man is head of the woman (you might want to make sure you read the whole chapter 11, to get the full feel of women's place); 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, where it states that women should be silent in church, and if they have any questions, they can ask their husbands later on; Ephesians 5:2-24, where it states that women should obey their husbands in all things, as if their husbands were Christ (!); Ephesians 5:33, where it states that wives should have reverence for their husbands; Colossians 3:18, where wives should submit to their husbands; 1 Timothy 2:11-12, where women should learn in silence from men, and not usurp authority over men; and etc.  There are more verses that say that wives should obey their husbands; look carefully at the references at the link above, and make sure you compare in a Catholic-approved Bible for your case.  You should have the idea by now; if your wife is a bossy Catholic, she is not following the teachings of the Bible, as, according to the Bible, she should obey you as if you were Christ himself.
