The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes.
Martin Luther, Works 12.94
The following quotes concerning the nature and role of women are from the father of Christian Protestantism, Martin Luther:
The word and works
of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes.
Martin Luther, Works 12.94
Men have broad and
large chests, and small narrow hips, and more understanding than women, who have but small and
narrow breasts, and broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep house,
and bear and bring up children.
Martin Luther, Table Talk
Even though they
grow weary and wear themselves out with child-bearing, it does not matter; let them go on
bearing children till they die, that is what they are there for.
Martin Luther, Works 20.84
God created Adam
master and lord of living creatures, but Eve spoilt all, when she persuaded him to set himself
above God's will. 'Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error.
We may well lie with
what seems to be a woman of flesh and blood, and yet all the time it is only a devil in the
shape of a woman.
No gown worse
becomes a woman than the desire to be wise.
