This has been troubling me since I learned that in the Renaissance women were
"vessels of sin". According to the men of that time it was the woman who was at
fault whenever a man got a stiffy. Now in one respect (attraction) this IS true
if the man is sexually turned on by women (not all are, you know). But can it
really be the woman's fault? Do women conciously command the male to become
arroused? WRONG. It's not the fault of women. It's those damned male
hormones!! Women have no real control over it. Here's my question. Since
those Renaissance men were such stellar geniuses, why couldn't they figure this
out? Were they satisfied to think nothing but evil things about women? This
may be blasphemy but, no matter how talented and exceptional this group of men
was artistically, mathematically, musically, etc...., they were still social
