Does the New Testament contain sexism?

Having a learning disability is not the same as lacking education.

If one can not learn in the ways the schools have taught forever, then literally that person is without an education. Therfore a learning disablity prevents one from being educated in the way we teach our children. Most people can not afford to send their kids to the few schools who specialize in teaching kids with learning disablities.

Having a learning disability might be used by some people to define others' roles in society, but as we've established, this isn't right.

that's crap. Do you want a 'doctor' with a learning disablity to do your open heart surgery, or do you want someone who graduated at the top of his class?

They're different in the sense that one has no choice in these statuses, AND the fact that these statuses don't affect one's ability to fulfill any given role, which is the entire point of equality, trying to ensure that the most qualified person performs the role regardless of irrelevant statuses like sex or race.

It would be like saying someone's role is to stay at home and cook just because they have a penis. It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't have any bearing on their ability to cook, so why even consider that as part of role-defining?

It seems you think that soceity only divides us in areas where we have control. it doesn't. My last post demonstrates this. So my question is if we are willing to be divided in soceity where one is born one way or another, then what is the big deal here?
