I just rediscovered this interesting story. So in the Judeo- Christian mythology there is a character called Lilith. There are two creation stories in Genesis and some theorize that Lilith is Adams first wife. In the myth, Lilith refuses to lie under Adam during sex. She wanted to be on top and claimed that they were equal.
Lilith defies Adam's leadership and runs away. She then refuses to return to Adam when God requests she return to him. Lilith becomes a dark figure that consorts and creates demons. Unbridled sexuality is her power and she steals the life force of infants while they sleep. She is also said to be a succubus that drains the sexual energy of men.
I dont think this myth is literal but it does answer my original question. This myth represents the dualistic nature of the feminine. Eve is a woman that chooses submission to the male ( even when she makes a big mistake). Eve also represents sexual temperence. Lilith represents total rebellion against male guidance. Lilith also represents sexual promiscuity and *****dom.
So within every woman there is a struggle. Each woman has an Eve and a Lilith inside her. Both are her nature. The culture that the female is raised in will determine which archetype she expresses.
