In Reply to: Vessels of Sin posted by Dana Cunningham on February 04, 1999 at 19:29:25:

: I have to agree with you that is was truly ridiculous that women took the full blame for men's actions of sins during the renaissance. However, at that time it was just a common belief that women were inferior and with the church supporting the claim the women were "vessels of sin" I think that it would be hard for a man to believe differently, for he didn't want to be the one at fault. Don't get me wrong, I fully argee that belief is absurd, but back then it was just something so common and for that, I think it was just easier for men to place the blame on the women.
