Do you think this is the only thing men have historically been wrong about on women? Until very recently, especially in Western civilization, women have been treated as second class citizens, incapable of doing much of anything except be sexual temptresses. St Jerome was heavily influenced by St Augustine who believed that women were tools of the devil used to distract men with sex from their devotion to God ( I may be a little off on this, it’s been a minute since I read up on it).

Sadly, stories like this can be found in much more modern settings as well.
