Women had to be able to perform a number of tasks at once and still have an open awareness of their surrounding world. Because of the menses, women also face uncertainty in the basic nature of their daily world as their hormone levels shift. Their world is never a constant unchanging dwelling place. Now let us return to the comparison of men and women to the three requirements of religion relating to civil law, union with God, and union with their neighbors. As to obedience to civil law, women rank well above men probably because they perceive law as a social agreement rather than a personal limitation of immediate desires.
Men rationalize the necessity to obey a law and judge their ability to break the law.
Women, however, accept law as existing for their own good and keep their minds upon other things. In experiencing union with God or sensing that there is a higher power directing the world and your life, women also shine above men. This has been evidenced by what has been called the intuitive nature of women and their trust in their beliefs. This has been equated with their finding a higher power to compensate for their own comparative weakness. While the men left to hunt or fight, the women have long had to remain at home finding their own source of strength in something beyond their own hands and aggression.
