Why is eve a redhead with pearl earrings...

More colorful?

[yes_justice]

Eve is a good Irish name tho.

She's Wilma Flintstone

Why does Adam have nipples?

Why doesn't Caitlyn have whites on her eyes.

Why is the fruit of knowledge, an apple?

[hardblue]

Because God wills it so!

Though, the apple one might be because knowledge is sweet and good to eat.

[yes_justice]

I like like the snarky tarty apples.

On the apple question, I believe that is the result of Christians fucking with the story. Jews (as it was their story first) are divided on the question of what the fruit of knowledge was. Some say it was a unique fruit we have never seen since, some say it was an apple, some, oddly enough, say it was actually wheat with all the implicit associations with agriculture that go with that.

uh wtf

can someone explain this to me? idgi...er im not sure im getting it... is he transphobic?

I was wondering about his politics too. It could go either way, it seems to me. He could be saying that it is about time we revisited the old story and its standard exclusionary interpretation, or he could be mocking the change in the way that people say that "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

Best I can figure is, the "Adam and Eve" dichotomy being a conventional way of expressing the fundamental and ancient expression of gender roles, Caitlyn's surprise entrance onto the scene, as something that doesn't fit neatly within those roles, is implied to be unnatural, disordered, and bizarre

[atheistkathleen]

ok yeah that's what i was thinking, was we have adam=man and eve=woman and in comes caitlyn="something else" ...i don't like it

I'm a lil saddened. I saw the comic and went: "let me guess, Madam_shampoo with another of her 'it's not normal' posts"

=(

I know you're not necessarily agreeing with the comic, but ya know....

I did the same thing! I totally expected this to be a Madam_shampoo (lol) post. It would have been SO in character!
