I don’t have time at the moment to comment on the arguments in this post, but I do want to point out one thing. It seems rather common in egalitarian/complementarian discussions/debates/books/etc to present the opposing argument in the most inflammatory way possible. (also rather common is presenting their argument as *you* have decided how their belief is defined, not how they define it, but I’ll save that for another day). You introduce NN’s argument in the most inflammatory way possible. Yes, in his post he points out that all of the relationships that are listed in Eph 5 and that Paul (not NN, but paul) uses the same word for all of them. That is far different than saying that the marriage relationship is like that of master-slave. You certainly got people immediately against NN and his ideas before actually presenting them, making sure that they read your connotations into his writing, but it is a very uncharitable way to present an opposing argument. I have seen many egalitarians and complementarians do this. It needs to stop on all sides.
