"men forgiven/women blamed": isn't this where submission comes in? He works and the woman needs to do all the things and accept all the things. I have yet to see the burden on the man for the health of the marriage or of divorcing. I haven't known of men being dealt with in this way.

Fear: yes. They rail so hard against it don't they? They are afraid if this "contagion" rolls on, how much would men have to lose?

"eternal marriage as offering": men are rulers of religion, writer's of all of those burnable books. Woman's offering to men is eternal servitude?

"enough punishment" - oh yes, it is enough! Too much.
