The Great Ordeal / Re: [TGO Spoilers] The Judging Eye - Is it objective truth?
« on: July 26, 2016, 09:48:55 pm »So being a women makes you less than what a man is, that's subjective? The path to that is subjective? Right and wrong is written in to the "rules" of Earwa, there is no path to it.
ETA: what I'm saying is being born a woman isn't a choice and yet they are morally inferior to men.
No one doubts that "women being lesser souls or less worth than men" is the subjective opinion of the majority of humanity across time in the Earwa universe. BUT... If that is the hard objective rules of this universe, then I am greatly troubled by what Bakker is doing here. But instead I feel that statements such as that is one of the hints that Bakker is throwing out on purpose, to give is a hint of something more at work, to be dealt with more in TUC, and fully explored in the next series of books. Just like the full scope and reality of the gods was not apparent in the first trilogy.
I know you disagree on this, but that is my opinion. Which might change in the future.
