I have seen some strange stuff posted before...this one ranks as one of the strangest! Are these the same "old church fathers" who used to burn people at the stake?

I believe that both genders are misunderstood in today's society. Placing blame on one or the other makes us victims, then nothing is ever solved. Do you believe women are the root of all evil? I thought money was The Dragon has always been associated with evil, so if the lady is suffocating him, that's a good thing, right? So she's a martyr, again a good thing Interesting submission.

Of course the image is a joke. I just wanted to turn the scene in the image up side down with the help of some words.
Speaking of dragons - in western mythology they are beast, but also very like humans in their greed - psychologically anal personalities. But they were not evil in the same dualistic meaning as some of the church fathers thought the women to be a part of. And in chinese tradition the dragon is a majestic creature.

Well done artistically too!

An answer to the first question: They christians who burned people on the stake had taken this tradition straight to hell, one could say. The misogynic (I donīt know if thatīs the right english word - writings that came in my mind was created by some of the church fathers in the earliest christian church. But they were often quoted when hell broke loose.

She is obviously trying to help him with his dental hygiene - his teeth are in bad shape, and she's probably scraping his tongue too. He'll be glad after it's done, and more appreciative of women.  Dragons are less frightening than Puritans.
