It doesn't make sense here and sounds rather pompous and affected!

I got a laugh at the absurd notion of some poor, dimwitted woman chopping down the Tree of Wisdom, but the line that really got to me was, ". . . allowing the hand to wield its innate intelligence . . ." Isn't it nice to know that our brains might be totally lacking in intelligence, but our hands seem to have an abundance of it?

The sentence that really disturbed me was this one...<br /><br />"Nature would be tamed, its energy restrained, creating an ambiance in which she would more likely cut down the Tree of Knowledge than water it."<br /><br />Hello, Givenchy?

What a muddled and uncomplimentary picture of women it painted! The only thing worse than this type of ridiculousness is that somewhere there is a group of marketing people who actually think women are vacuous and insipid creatures who will be inspired by such malarkey to make a purchase.<br />Eileennoreply@blogger.com
