Be it a mother, a wife, or an older sister, the woman has always been in the trenches on the inside, at things that require deeper feelings, deeper emotions, deeper care and a lot of diplomacy. It is not easy to mend broken souls, treat hurt prides, to fight someone else’s indecision and plain self-doubt. But this is not all that she can do, she can do more things than Napoleon could do at once, she has proven to be a little Jack in the box, or better said, Jill in the box.

Take a normal day of an unemployed Jill and wonder! If she were to be paid for the house chores and services that she does on a daily basis out of love, just to see smiley faces and happiness all around her, she would have become a millionaire.

She is the gardener and the breeder who provides the ingredients that she also cooks and the perfectionist dietitian who doses calories in the meal for her family while making it appealing for all the senses; she is the home decorator, including the matching paintings that she did by herself; the best time managing house-keeping judging from the cleanness of the house; yard and clothes to the table arrangement; she is the plumber when, with a trick she invented, she repairs the sink installation, which otherwise would had had to be replaced; replaces the bulbs if not the whole electric installation when needed; she always surprises her extended family with the hand-knitted gift; she is the baby sitter; the teacher of each subject when it comes to homework, regardless that the children attend college, meanwhile, she is always in the know.

If you try harder, you may win a game or two, be it chess or tennis that you are playing with her, but don’t be too sure that she didn’t let you win on purpose. Being the best secretary of her husband she never lets him skip a meeting or forget a group prayer, not to mention a school event of his progeny, and if he is tired she might even offer to drive. She is always neat and fresh and most important of all, she is always smiling, and is the best family entertainer of all. Baby I’m home!

Nowadays this portrait is becoming more scarce. Women have forgotten the old saying, “Behind every successful man there is a wise woman.” In their endeavor to prove themselves equal to men, ever since the hammer and sickle of Communism, women started to work shoulder to shoulder with men, in all the fields, seemingly forgetting that physically they lack the men’s strength and resistance.

After each ‘success’ they push the standards higher and higher, chasing higher salaries and higher positions than men, and taking the other side of the medal as well. Working long extra hours outside, returning tired and irritable, because the longer the hours they had to overdo, the more chores remained unfinished at home. Let alone that by no means they would give up on their looks, so, apart from commuting time, add some hours shopping the latest in trend, visiting the gym or keeping fit any other way. And last but not least, attending the massage, make-up and hair-style session [aren’t they supposed to compete with the heavily photo-shopped models from the ads hunting you from all around and the daily magazines they (and especially their husbands) are reading?].

One should look no further than their children, their future, to see if the all consumerist human society is going the way it should. Who is paying the bill, of course, not the financial bill but the emotional one? The estranged children, picking up on drugs and any other vice first, then the neglected husbands, indirectly forced to look for the greener grass, and if you look at the extended damage, perhaps even parents (yes, in-laws too) and friends. Why?

Because simply put it was not designed that way. They claim contribution to the society. What greater contribution than to have the full-time merit for the way the future generation is raised; the atmosphere they are supposed to create. Women induced the rat-race, with no time to smell a beautiful flower growing on the field, to listen to the birds, the best natural musicians, and to do all that gives relaxation and peace of mind. And also women are complaining that they don’t get enough respect from their children and partners, forgetting that they reap what they sow.

Regarding the sex approach, men are the weaker gender; they must be protected in public from women’s good looks. Women have the power to make or to break them. The self-respect of a woman decreases with every inch/centimeter of skin shown in public apart from face and hands, because the more the skin comes out, the more the woman is perceived like an object, and less spiritually. You don’t have to believe, you can put this principle to the test.

It is human nature, the same nature that descended from Adam and Eve in Paradise, for a position on Earth inferior to the one in the original design. What part of history doesn’t the modern women like? Could it be the part in which Eve was created from Adam’s rib? Is it the part in which Eve didn’t eat from the forbidden fruit alone but she tempted Adam to eat too? Except for the practical utilities, protecting from wind and cold, and insulating from heat, the cover is a constant reminder of the forgiven double sin as a means of avoiding relapse. If not for this original sin, Adam would not have had to work hard to provide for his family and Eve would not have had menses and delivered in pain but would have watered the flora and fed the fauna of Earth from the provisions already made available to them.

Eve doesn’t ‘have to’ work, since she has no financial responsibility ever. She is to be provided, during any stage of her life, by the men in her life (father, husband, son) with all the things that she needs and make her happy. If she chooses to work, she does it out of her own pleasure, she can do with her income whatever she pleases and her work does not have to interfere with the well-being and happiness of the men in her life.

Women have already proven that they are capable and can achieve all they want. Since Eve’s return to Paradise is conditional by her subservience to Adam and his offspring and Adam’s return is determined by his sustenance to the family and the conduct toward his mother, what is wrong with fully-covered women, keeping any male contact to the minimum, working in the field of activity of their choice, only as long as they don’t have family obligations?

The difference would be visible in the next generation: increased spirituality, lower divorce rates, lower abortion and unwanted pregnancies rate, less stress, less consumerism over all since she does more at home and alfresco than in public indoors, this to mention only a few.
