The Disprovement of Women's Honesty
Carrier says there is no tradition about women's testimony not being acceptable. He cites a passage from Josephus, but it seems to disprove his claim. Caria: People constantly said, you can't trust women. And Carrier tries to say this doesn't mean that their evidence isn't acceptable. It just means that if you let women in a law court, they'll be giggling and laughing and scolding. That flies in the face of the very careful way that Josephus has laid that out.
