I disagree. I don't think giving spiritual life is any more powerful than giving physical life.
If you think giving birth is not a powerful thing, then perhaps you are the misogynist?
...Just kidding. I know you're not that. But seriously, don't undermine a woman's power to carry life and give birth.

I can't pretend to understand the faithful sometimes.
In my humble opinion, it just comes down to men and women not always having the same abilities. They are both still equally great, equally powerful, and equally important. Just in a few different ways. Men cannot give birth, and women cannot give spiritual life. Neither is better than the other. Just different.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
