How does the quality of order/disorder play into casting women
 as threats to knowledge construction according to Carolyn Merchant?
 

As God created male and female
We know that Eve was first deceived.
Cause first came Adam and then Eve
And that’s the order we believe.
Eve was not strong so she gave in
Adam did the same right after her.
Females were first deceived by satan
And God put man above the nature.
Since fertile, barren and nurturing nature
Assimilate with womanhood.
God put the man above the body
Smart and strong he has to be.
Culture was always thought above nature
And so man is above rest.
Women are a threat to knowledge
Because of weakness they show.
Since power / knowledge is all one
We know that man has power more
And women are below the head.
God made the universe in order
And the order will stay the same.
