Who wrote this poem/quote?

[Xochitl_Guzman]

Not sure if this is the right area to ask this…But I think this is said beautifully and I was wondering who wrote this poem or where did it come from?

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved

I believe that it comes from the Talmud.

Thanks. I’ll have to look it up because I am clueless at this point

. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal,

Question about that, Does the CC teach that God made Adam and Eve to be equal???
Just curious…

In regards to authority, no. In regards to other talents, perfections, roles, virtues, and abilities, no, each has their superiorities, particular roles, inferiorities, etc. In regards the justice with which God treats them, yes.

Adam had authority over Eve. That is why, when she took the apple, one of her sins was an attempt to put herself superior to his authority, and one of his was to abandon it.

These sins are repeated to this day.

“Absolutely equal in dignity, but different in function”, was the way I heard Father John Corapi phrase it. (Then he added, “And some of those differences run soul-deep.”)

Totally makes sense…Thanks…I really like that quote above I posted, I understood the whole thing but questioned the “equal” part…

father Corapi says; equal does not mean the same. we are equal but not the same. very wise father is.
