Subject: RE: Why Did Barbara Allen Refuse?
Interesting, Roberto, thanks for including it.

Does a woman have to be "frigid or injured" just because she doesn't want a particular man? I would suggest that it merely serves to assuage the man's embarrassment/pain on being rejected, as would the reference to her being a witch.
