Eruvin 100: The 10 Curses of Eve

When a tree reaches low to the ground, if as low as 3 tefachim from the ground, you can carry under them. If you actually can. Plus: Halakhic mention of "shev ve-al ta'aseh" and "bal taschit" (and "bal tigra"). Now: No spousal rape. Unequivocally. Moreover, the relationship between husband and wife has bearing on their children - with negative ramifications for those from the union of a man who did go ahead and force his wife after all, and very positive ramifications for the couple when the wife initiates intimacy. This is followed by the 10 curses to Eve - primarily carrying and bearing children, though also, perhaps disturbingly, she is said to cursed to keep quiet rather than standing up for herself. Alternatively - we now have the opportunity to redeem these curses and fix Eve's wrong-doing that led to the curses... Plus: Learning superior behavior from the animals - modesty, honesty, fidelity... Is there an ethic independent of Halakhah?!
