You know, not his term, not mine.
But, you know, there is a similar thing in the Middle Ages, which it's like the Virgin Mary or Eve.
Yeah.
Right.
And Eve is clearly weak-willed.
She's very easy to be tempted by the serpent.
That's why there's that picture on the cover of my book.
Fabulous, yes.
Because you've got the Virgin Mary on one hand and you've got Eve on the other.
And it's like, which way, Western woman?
Right.
Like, are you going to be easily tempted specifically by sexuality or are you going to be able to rise above this and just become a nice mommy?
Right.
And so this is the thing that happens to Eloise as she falls down the traditional route that what people are expecting you to do in the middle ages when you're a woman, they're expecting you, even if you're super intelligent, to cave into the pleasures of the flesh.
Because that's what women are.
Women inhabit this much more, I suppose, sensual kind of body.
They are more earthly.
They are more corporeal, which is seen as bad.
He's like, Jesus, knock it off.
I love that for her.
