Kudos on your efforts to address #MeToo! As far as Sarai’s story goes, the past cannot be changed and the future is unknown. We live in the present. Bluntly put, Abraham pimped out his wife, Sarai aka Sarah. This was acceptable in those times add is still acceptable in certain circles (though less so) today. This behavior is dispicable, disgusting, and dishonorable. Women are the bearers and nurturers of the human race. As such, we should be treated as sacred and with respect. But in order to rece ive such treatment, we must begin by treating ourselves that way, then treating other women, our sisters, that way, and then we should demand the same from others. Finally, we must teach this to our children so that our daughters grow up to be strong and independent women who are treated by our sons with mutual respect and equality.
