People, including NT writers, appealed to creation to justify patriarchy, as has always been the case. Thanks to science and secularism, we now understand such appeals to be utterly lacking justification in any sense of physiology and basic logic.
Otherwise, you are looking for control over another not entitled to you.
Quote:Which again all of our collective soceities have this control over us, now. What is the difference if the control is based on gender or if it is based on the money you make? It is that exact same level of control.The only fool is the person defending the suppression of basic human rights (as they are needs), such as the liberty and opportunity to learn or teach, to speak, to authorize one's own actions, on the basis of gender or class. Obviously, whether or not you believe money ought to be equivalent to speech or basic freedoms to act as others are allowed to do in private and public spheres is not exactly the same as a conversion about privileges bestowed on account of a person's genitalia.
Youre fooling yourself if you think otherwise.
