I guess Eve never should have taken that first bite of the apple!

Sorry, Haps! I just couldn't pass that one up... *G* However, I have to agree that the church (I refuse to use caps there) had a great deal to do with holding women back. I guess that's what happens when you let a grumpy old misogynist run things! I suppose, if I had my way with things, there would be a number of "Good Christian Saints" permanently confined to the ninth level of Dante's Inferno!
