"God said to the Serpent: I will make you and the woman enemies, and your offspring will be enemies of hers. Her offspring will seek to crush your head while you will try to bite her heel.

To the woman he said: I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, with your pain you will give birth to children; and yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will have dominion over you. You will give birth in pain."

 

 

Genesis, The Bible.

 

 

“This process of construction of the new symbolic order can be verified by following the trail of what was a symbol of our sexuality in almost all cultures: the snake. The importance and omnipresence of the image of the snake had been correlative to the importance of the deployment of the female libido. Making the snake disappear was impossible. That's why what they did was eliminate its symbolic force, which kept memory, remembrance and the possibility of imagining another way of being a woman alive.”
