What you are saying is that scripture tells us that men are universally inclined to be tyrants and women are universally inclined to be martyrs. That the male default response in marriage is one of “rule” BUT the female default response in marriage is this “desire” which equates to long-suffering kindness toward their husbands. That the result, for marriage, of Adam’s bringing of sin to ALL the world is this general orientation: menare bad, women are good. Moreover, any change from the “status quo” of patriarchy happens only males depart from their default badness or females depart from their natural goodness. If equality happens, it is only in the rare case that men overcome their overwhelming, default evilness. If female dominance happens, it is only in the rare case when women deny their overwhelming, default goodness.

gengwall, I do not believe this at all. See my last comment #154
