I actually think Plaskow was widely read because she embraced those ideas--she just used the biblical concept of woman as her starting point, arguing that the confinement and regulation of women's sexuality meant that self-transcendence had to be forfeited in favour of control. Speaking of evolution, there is some thinking that males, at one point . . . maybe when we were innocent wanderers . . . didn't care which kids were their offspring and women had sex with whom they pleased and all children that resulted were cared for equally. Makes you wonder. Turns the garden on its head.
