I guess it would be fair to say that Ben Sira was sexist by today's standards. Women did not get a fair shake in those times or in the mind of Ben Sira. What we need to remember is the bible was written by people who lived in a certain time and with certain cultural standards. But cultural standards don't always reflect the truth of God. Today our church teaches the equality in dignity of all people, men and women alike!
