Janice #5,

So I skimmed a few articles over there, including Elisabeth Elliot’s chapter in RBMW, and the impression I get is that they’ve confused Christianity with cultural conservatism.

This is very well said and something that I also picked up on.  A soft or gentle answer from a man is confused with the softness of his skin so that both are considered feminine.  Yet Jesus had a gentle spirit and no one could accuse him of being feminine.  I find their take on “masculine” and “feminine” to be confusing because they blend spiritual things together with cultural issues.  Also the idea that egalitarians are only interested in power and authority is so far off the mark, I wonder if they have any ability to see outside their own view at all.  Your comments and questions were very thought-provoking!
