I have looked into this myself and if you study Hosea chapter 1 and how he names his children, it really weakens this argument, so I have totally avoided it! I like to give people Psalms 18:20-24. That one seems to be unimpeachable! I was in a...

I would think the women living in early Israel would have been very physically active as it was a largely agrarian culture. Most tasks for the women were done by hand. Consider the lives of women like Ruth, or the woman spoken of in Proverbs...
