Evenisation

Evenisation - The Sumer-Akkadian women figure contra women oppression in monotheistic literature

Evenisation is an expression for the presence of a normative, hegemonic male position, inducing guilt, shame, and sexual objectification of women.

The definition is based on three female archetypes created by the male religious establishment: biblical Eve (who ate the apple from the tree of knowledge), Lilith (from the Sumerian word for wind, “lil”), and Virgin Mary. Eve was burdened with sin, Lilith with lust, and Mary was desexualized. From the male position of power, Virgin Mary was appointed as the optimal woman. She was without sin before, during, and after pregnancy. Through her, Christianity (according to Catholic and Orthodox doctrines) saw women's sin in the garden of Eden as healed. Evenisation is thus a process aimed at suppressing one-half of the earth’s population.
