The apple was just sex-ed. They just over-euphemized it to make sure kids could read it, and now everyone gets confused. The apple probably wasn’t an apple originally, it was probably a pomegranate, a fruit known for dripping red all over you like blood, and the woman was the one who ate it. So to remove some of the whitewashing of the story, imagine a fully naked Eve with pomegranate juice dripping all over her body, kinda paints a different picture, right?
In text its just a “fruit” specifically the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The need some people have to identify it with a specific fruit is very strange to me.
So in other words the pomegranate dripping blood is allegory for her getting her starting her menstrual cycle, hence becoming a woman and being sexualized from now on?

That’s very insightful.

I can see that. I had learned that most of Genesis shouldn’t be taken literally anyway. They’re mostly allegories or parables.
