Re: Theos-World Thomas Aquinas on women

And what does that have to do with whether or not a woman has a soul? A lesson in logic: Just because someone says one objectional thing does not mean that he is saying ALL objectional things.

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 to 1274 CE):
"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of woman comes from a defect in the active force or from some material indisposition, or even from some external influence."
