This makes me think of Joseph Campbell's book, "The Power of Myth", where he writes: "In the biblical tradition we have inherited, life is corrupt, and every natural impulse is sinful unless it has been circumcised or baptized. The serpent was the one who brought sin into the world. And the woman was the one who handed the apple to man. This identification of the woman with sin, of the serpent with sin, is the twist that has given the whole story in the biblical myth and doctrine of the Fall." Then Bill Moyers, who's interviewing him, asks: "Does the idea of woman as sinner appear in other mythologies?" And Campbell says: "No, I don't know of it elsewhere. The closest thing to it would be perhaps Pandora with Pandora's box, but that's not sin, that's just trouble. The idea in the biblical tradition of the Fall is that nature as we know it is corrupt, sex in itself is corrupt, and the female as the epitome of sex is the corrupter."
