Human males are incapable of reflecting God to their partners because they wish to have physical relations with their partners for their own satisfaction. Men have a physical need that has to be completed by a woman. This is why their is so much pornography among Christians. Although there are some men who completely repudiate pornography, they have other control issues which need to be satisfied. There is no human male who is free of this.

I regard this doctrine as the desecration of the temple. The female body is violated. I think of Jesus driving the money changers out of the temple. I think he was angry. I see anger as fully appropriate.
The only problem with anger is that it does not commicate well to other people.

I do think that those who hold these doctrines need to hear, however, that some people have a deep anger and regard male dominance as deeply wrong and sinful, in all its manifestations.

It causes even more anger when I read that the exegesis is from flawed studies that do not demonstrate a knowledge of either the text or the Greek language. It makes me understand that knowledge and study are almost valueless, because it is the base appetite which drives the doctrine of male dominance and this is more powerful than any other human faculty.
