- the bible is written by men, and written for men (the audience
- is assumed male); that they dont consider the personal feelings of
- the women is not surprising. they obviously didnt view women
- as fully equal human beings, so how can they make a personal crime
- against a semiperson? they can only make crimes against
- the owners of the semipeople, and this is the problem they address.
- that doesnt mean it wasnt a personal crime. perhaps this is
- what you meant though, seeing as you wrote that the IDEA was a
- recent discovery. if so this is just clarification.
