I didn't really understand the impact of monogamy on women until I divorced at midlife, when I already had fulfilled
certain womanly roles, like being a wife and mom.
It could still be argued that these roles impose strain on
womanly nature; that they are not what women are made for; that they show a
certain lack of respect for God's work of creation; that in fulfilling them a woman is likely to treat men maternally, which will impose undue strain on masculine nature; and that the woman's
womanly dignity and worth are to some extent at risk while she does these jobs; but it could not be maintained that she and those who gave her her role have sinned by disobeying God's command.
