In Pateric, a religious book with the teachings of the saints, it is said that at one point, a holy father bound a devil who had come to tempt him and did not let him go until he revealed some things from hell.

The devil told him that although there are more women in the church, “for all kinds of sins there are more women in hell.

First of all women are the pride of sin, for they are our best tools and we teach them how to adorn themselves and how to attract men into the sin of defilement.

Secondly, because they are very good with their mouth. It is through them we make the best liars and quarrels, they are our best charms in which we use in purifying the souls and bodies of people.

Thirdly, after they are done committing sins without fear and shame. When they go to confession, they do not confess sincerely. They confess by saying sins as if they were not guilty. "
