Women Can't Commit Evil...Right?

The question in the title is rhetorical.

Make sure you read the comment by poster, Indigo Red. I've been saying a very similar thing for the longest time.

People don't like it when I point this out. We, as a society, have this perception of women that is just way off.

Why is it that people (men and women) assume that all evil is perpetrated by men exclusively? That somehow women are devoid of evil acts or inclinations? And should a woman be found to do something evil...it was somehow a man's fault?

If you look at women from the world's point of view, you can justify that sentiment. If you look at women from God's point of view, you cannot.

Women, like men, are sinners and are capable of great wickedness. And, I think the danger lies in the assumption that women are devoid of evil because they're female; they can get away with more...because no one expects evil acts from them. They are the supposed nurturers and life bearers. Do I really have to bring up the women fighting for abortion?

I know I'm using this broad statement toward women, which I don't normally do as I like to be very specific when talking about subjects. But, in this case it's necessary. Because I'm talking about the sin nature, which applies to all people, regardless of gender.

With that said, gender has nothing to do with who is or is not capable of evil, it is a sin issue. It is the sin nature that creates the potential of all of humanity; every man, woman, and child, to commit great atrocities against one another. And, until we realize what God has said of sin as it affects humanity as a whole, we will never effectively deal with evil on this earth.

Men AND women are capable of great good, and men AND women are capable of great evil. That's the reality of the matter. Gender has no say.
