Egalitarian leverage of the Genesis allusion: new creation obliterates creation-order role differences

Some egalitarians argue that Paul connects Galatians 3:28 to Genesis 1-3 to show that any role differences based on original creation no longer apply in Christ. They leverage the concept of 'first creation vs. new creation' — perhaps men and women had unequal authority in Genesis, but the new creation in Christ is of a different order. Scholar Stendahl argues this Genesis 1:27 allusion means the obliteration of gender distinctions from original creation.
