The New Eve

In his sermon during a Sunday mass, the priest used the term The New Eve. He was comparing the so called temptation that a woman's dressing and behaviour to that of Eve tempting Adam to have the forbidden fruit thus leading to the Original Sin. According to this priest, a woman who dress scantily or in a modern way is a temptresses as her dressing and behaviour lead men in to sin. Thus they become the New Eve. According to him woman should dress conservatively to avoid leading others in sin.

This, according me is a very sad and irresponsible thought being made in public. There have been times where I have looked at a woman and thought that she has been asking for trouble. So i too am guilty of this thought.

We got to remember that a man can be tempted by a fully clothed woman. A beautiful woman can also lead man into sin. Her only fault being that she is born beautiful. So in this way God too has an hand in sin as he was the one who created her beautiful. I have seen a truck full of men trying to eve tease a fully dressed woman. A woman has a right to dress the way she wants to. No one has the right to touch her dignity. What would have happened if Adam and Eve would have not discovered the fig leaf. We would still be roaming in our birthday suits with everything out in the open for all to see. Who are we to judge and pass comments on someones dressing. It is not how a woman dresses and behave, it is more on how we as men keeo what is in our pants in check. Rather than blame someone else we need to control ourselves. It is easy pass judgement and make comments but not easy to mature and change with times. We need to be responsible for our actions words.
