"The little green lie" The power of femininity by Michelle McKinney

from the book....
"Because of the woman's deception,some things in the garden were about to change. From this day forth, she would feel the pain of child birth,a pain that she had caused God to feel when she wrentched herself from His protective womb to become master of her own destiny. Because the scripture in Gen3:16 is often used in the "submission" debate, I would like to shed further light on this curse that affected all woman. This scripture is not about position or submission. If that were the case, single woman would have been exempt from the curse. This scripture is about the state of the fallen heart... Man was responsible for covering and leading the woman from the beginning. But know any woman, married or single, would find herself always striving to have man bend to her will. She would seek to grasp total fulfillment from man, to receive complete affirmation from him, but she would achieve this fulfillment because no human being could be her completion. In other words, the curse caused the heart of a woman to say to man, "I need you to be willing to do anything for me, including disobeying God if that's what it takes to make me feel loved, desired, worthy and fulfilled." The fall the God-given desire in her heart for man to be perverted into a need for all the wrong reasons. Man could never live up to thevoid the fall created, so woman's exaggerated need for man became her bondage. Her desire for him would know "rule" over her and colour all her decsions as she constantly strove to gain his love in a spot reserved for God alone. On the other han, though God reated them as partners......"
and the book gets interesting
