You didn't seem to note how, when women make vows or pledges, they are considered "rash promises". Because women can't make a well thought-out vow without the backing of a man, I suppose. (Numbers 30:6-8)

@@Daniel-cz7kd Yes, I did. I did a bit of hyperbole, but note that such a case is not mentioned at all in the (very short) passage about men's vows. Only women need someone else - that is their father or husband, until they are widowed or divorced - to review and possibly cancel their vows because it might be a "rash promise". There is no such review process for a man, and no such suggestion that they can make promises hastily.

The ONLY time I can think of where someone made a pledge like that to God that turned out okay was Danny Thomas. He has near bankrupt and struggling to find work. He said 'God, give my career a boost, and I'll do something more than acting-- something that will help others. ' Well, he got a successful TV and movie career... and feeling God had kept his end of the bargain, he used a lot of his new found personal fortune to help form St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I might disagree with his beliefs, but he seemed like a sincere and kind hearted man.

Now, yes, in the light of science or, as was the case with a lot of pagans at the time, the stunning similarity of Christianity to other faiths. But for most people, they didn't think it over, or couldn't think it over. One had to be burned by god (for instance, how frequently Proverbs is wrong about the wicked being punished and the good rewarded, when in capitalism the opposite is eternally true) to realize it wasn't real.

1. Snort, do you know how many women through history made vows against their father's wishes/ A LOT. This includes religious women, too: look at the Hindu saint Meera. She was married off to this rich dude, against her will, and she ran away from home FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES before she actually got out .Her dd wanted her to marry this dude because of money and alliances and stuff, and, in fairness to the husband, he did inevitably let her go, because she said that God 9Krishna in this case) was her real husband. There are a lot of different versions of this story, in some of which the husband is an abusive asshole, but that may have just been for dramatic effect. I think this all went down in, like...the 1400s? I like Meera. She was brave. But it happened to Christian females, too, who were later recognized as saints. 2. The vows I assume they mean is the woman dedicating herself to the Temple, or, well, it would BECOME the Temple once they'd conquered Canaan. But why is it only "rash" when women do it? Not in all cases, though: Mother Mary was, I do believe, dedicated to the Temple during her childhood, at least. I've heard stories about her being raised in the Temple, but I don't know how true that is. 3. See, though, this is sexual gatekeeping, oo, because a Temple woman would have had to remain chaste, of course. Same as Catholic nuns. But then her man can be like, "Nope, you don't get to do that," and I have ISSUES with that. Dad's very sympathetic to the fact that I have personally vowed never to return to Catholicism, and he would never order me back in (he's out himself, as a matter of fact), but if he tried to, I'd be like, "Bitch, PLEASE." I think we should be allowed to stand on our own freedom, honour, and integrity in keeping up our own vows.

That concept wasn't discovered until classical liberalism and the writings of Rousseau. Before that, individualism wasn't really a thing except occasionally for heroes and great leaders. The average person was entirely tied to their family and trapped under the aegis of the patriarch of the house. Which means, in practice, the idea of following your own interests rather than family dictate is very, very new. And, as usual, it almost never applied to women until feminism came along. Remember, there were two Kinsey reports. The first talked about men, and was only shocking in the admission that lots of men had sampled homosexual behavior. What got everyone livid wasn't the first report, but the second one. The second report was about women, and it found rather clearly that women have sexual desires, and pleasure, as much as men do. The public was outraged at the suggestion, especially the church.

Surely the Bible takes plenty of opportunities to marginalize women. But I think it's a mistake to approach EVERY SINGLE PASSAGE in it from a modern perspective of certainty that this could be the only outcome for anything you read in it. I think your confusion towards the end of the episode stems from a misunderstanding of when and how frequently the "nullifying" in these versus takes place. For instance, Numbers 30: 6 - 8. You seem to think this is a day-to-day thing, like... the husband listens all night to what the wife is saying in private, then nullifies it the next day. I don't think that's what we are seeing here. I think these are vows and obligations she made BEFORE they got married, and the husband has this ONE CHANCE ("speak now or forever hold your peace") maybe at the wedding, just before, or just after, to "nullify" them, or they stand. This is essentially a cuck-for-free-for-life/make all the decisions/leave this guy for the guy you already married in secret guarantee if the wife wears the pants in the household. If she kowtows him early enough, she's set for life (or until he dies with her still having a close male relative around). If you read it that way, and apply it across the board, all of your later confusion and questions evaporate. Imagine this scenario: the woman marries some guy she actually loves in secret. The father has meanwhile betrothed her to some asshat. Yes, it sucks that if the father finds out before the wedding to asshat, he can "nullify" her secret wedding, or if the fiancé/new husband Asshat finds out, he can do the same. But if they don't, she can go the priest after all is said and done, and say, these jackasses never nullified my original vows. And the priest will back her up. Voila - she is married to the first guy after all. More simply, this allows a wife/daughter to hold onto property or keep engagements the men have not "nullified," or even know about.
