The fruit was forbidden, and he ate it anyways. They sought out the knowledge, got kicked out of Eden, and the rest of us are cursed. Probably a hell of a lot more interesting this way.

So, if the dude ate the apple why is it that women got the whole "you'll bleed like a fucking pig for a few days each month and giving birth will be nearly unbearable" punishment? What punishment did men get? This is assuming, of course, that I am correct about the punishment -- maybe it was in some PLanet of the Apes movie and I am confused. To go along with that, if a woman gets an epidural is she skirting God's punishment of birth being painful? And why does the period punishment run out at menopause -- does God figure the woman has suffered enough?
Note: My periods are light and I have never had cramps but I know people that suffer greatly when the "monthly visitor" is around so I must inquire about the whole punishment thing.
edited to ask if anyone else noticed that we are on page 666 of the forum????
