Let Me Be A Woman

Yet the jelly fish and the tiger "know" what they were made for. They, with all sea monsters and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and frost, mountains and hills, beasts and all cattle, praise the Lord. By being a jelly fish the jelly fish glorifies its Creator, for by being a jelly fish it fulfills its Creator's command.

...

What sort of world might it be if Eve had refused the Serpent's offer and had said to him instead, "Let me not be like God. Let me be what I was made to be -- let me be a woman"?
But the sin was fatal beyond their worst imaginations, It was hubris, a lifting up of the soul in defiance of God, the pride that usurps another's place. It is a damnable kind of pride.
