A. to Q. 2

In these myths, women are sort of depicted as inferior to men. When the women gods do something bad, it is very serious to the males. When male gods do something bad, it is taken normally, except by the women. so it seems as if the male gods have more rights than the female one's. Also an example of this is the fact that man was created before women, plus humankind is told as mankind. In chapter three, the title is 'How the World and Mankind Were Created. I believe that what has changed between then and now to influence this change is only that humankind has taken on the 'society' of the gods and used them from then until now. How the gods have acted and the way they treated each other has kind of developed in today's form of society.

  1. Do you see parallels with later western religions? Why exactly do you think women get the bad rap?
