======================== Gn03-16a =================================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals was the explanation of words the
same way the dictionary explains words. Rashi had a variety
of vehicles to explain meaning.
EXAMPLE Gn03-16 PUNISHMENT OF WOMAN
-----------------------------------
The verse lists CHRNOLOGICALLY and CLIMACTICALLY the
peculiar fears and travails of women at each stage of life
- TRAVAILS (RASHI) Travail of TEENAGE GROWTH YEARS
- PREGNANCY (RASHI) Burden of PREGNANCY
- BIRD (RASHI) Pain of Childbirth
- MARRIAGE (RASHI) Women more dependent emotionally on man
- HE RULES (RASHI) Men explicit; Women discreet

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi literally says
------------------------------------
TRAVAIL = pain of raising children
------------------------------------
But it would be anti-climactic to state RAISE CHILDREN followed
by PREGNANCY BIRTH and MARITAL DEPENDENCY
Hence it makes more sense to translate
-------------------------------------------------------
TRAVAIL = pain of being raised as a child=Teenage years
-------------------------------------------------------
Notice how this inference is justified by the CLIMAX structure
of the paragraph---not by grammar or word meaning. This is
a fundamental observation in use of CLIMAX
*2 The verse simply says PREGNANCY.
However because of the CLIMACTIC NATURE and CONTEXT of the
verse we interpret PREGNANCY as the BURDEN OF PREGNANCY
Here we use the Rabbi Ishmael rule of INFERENCE FROM CONTEXT
which we have enriched with the idea of CLIMAX
*3 This is clear (Women have pain in birth)
*4 Women tend to miss their spouses more than men--that is the
way they are emotionally
*5 I saw a simple (non-sexist) explanation of the MAN-EXPLICIT vs
WOMAN DISCREET distinction from Masters and Johnson:
- The man needs an erection during relations--hence he cannot
be confronted
- by contrast the womans response is more automatic.
Hence the woman must wait till the man is ready to begin.Hence
she must be discreet in her requests.
------------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------------
*10 All items in this list refer to VULNERABILITIES that women
have but men do not have (Thus WOMEN can be pregnant but not
men; women have pain at birth but not men; women fear rape
during their teenage years while men fear only rejection)
