Ancient Words Of Wisdom On Women

[Aleph MaleParticipant 214]

If you’ve just stumbled upon or always cherished a gem of ancient wisdom about women which still happens to be relevant today, this is the place to post it!

I’ll start with my all-time favourite:

טוֹב שֶׁבֶת בְּאֶרֶץ-מִדְבָּר מֵאֵשֶׁת מדונים וָכָעַס

“It is better to live in a desert land than with a cross and petulant woman.”
-Proverbs 21:19

πασαν πληγην και μη πληγην καρδιας και πασαν πονηριαν και μη πονηριαν γυναικος
πασαν επαγωγην και μη επαγωγην μισουντων και πασαν εκδικησιν και μη εκδικησιν εχθρων
ουκ εστιν κεφαλη υπερ κεφαλην οφεως και ουκ εστιν θυμος υπερ θυμον εχθρου
συνοικησαι λεοντι και δρακοντι ευδοκησω η συνοικησαι μετα γυναικος πονηρας
πονηρια γυναικος αλλοιοι την ορασιν αυτης και σκοτοι το προσωπον αυτης ως αρκος
ανα μεσον των πλησιον αυτου αναπεσειται ο ανηρ αυτης και ακουσιως ανεστεναξεν πικρα
μικρα πασα κακια προς κακιαν γυναικος κληρος αμαρτωλου επιπεσοι αυτη
αναβασις αμμωδης εν ποσιν πρεσβυτερου ουτως γυνη γλωσσωδης ανδρι ησυχω
μη προσπεσης επι καλλος γυναικος και γυναικα μη επιποθησης
οργη και αναιδεια και αισχυνη μεγαλη γυνη εαν επιχορηγη τω ανδρι αυτης
καρδια ταπεινη και προσωπον σκυθρωπον και πληγη καρδιας γυνη πονηρα χειρες παρειμεναι και γονατα παραλελυμενα ητις ου μακαριει τον ανδρα αυτης
απο γυναικος αρχη αμαρτιας και δι’ αυτην αποθνησκομεν παντες
μη δως υδατι διεξοδον μηδε γυναικι πονηρα παρρησιαν
ει μη πορευεται κατα χειρας σου απο των σαρκων σου αποτεμε αυτην

“Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
I would rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than dwell with a wicked woman.
The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.
Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly.
All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.
As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
Do not fall down upon a woman’s beauty, and do not desire a woman.
A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.
A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.
Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.
Give the water no passage; neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.
If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh.”
-Sefer Ben Sira; 25:13-26 (c. ~200 BCE)

Behind every miserable man there is a very happy woman.

Wow!!

Women's brains and vagina have one thing in common. There is nothing in there until a man puts something in there.

The story of Adam and Eve still holds true as do these ancient words.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!
