  • That’s an interesting take, but if it’s a metaphor then it’s a broken one. Eve never had to lose anything, she’s whole and ergo, metaphorically, women wouldn’t feel the longing and need for companionship or whatever it is thats meant to be symbolized. If the torah is making a metaphor, then a better interpretation of the text might be that woman is created to be an object of man’s desire.

    Ironically, the original story of Adam and Lilith being one, conjoined entity that is later split into two by god actually functions much better as a metaphor for human need to find love and companionship, but thats not the story that gets cannonized.

    Honestly… Ya, literally any extra steps in signing up or slight bit of confusion is enough to make the average person give up and go back to whatever platform they are comfortable with. I’ve talked to people who dispise twitter but won’t even switch to Bluesky because the extra dot in the user handle is too weird for them.
