Hey Paula, I could not agree with you more.  I think lifting up Christ draws us away from the masculinity movement.  they are lifting up the flesh, specifically the male flesh.  They are re-writing the gospel to reflect a fleshly perspective defined by maleness not by the Spirit. 
When Paul said there is neither Jew nor greek, slave or free, male and female because we have been clothed with Christ… he was referring to the judiezers who were obssessed with male-circumcized flesh as the mark of God’s people.  But Paul said that community was redefined by Christ and the clothing we have in Christ and the fleshly divisions and ways of being in community are removed through faith in Him.  We become sons… not through circumcisions of male flesh but through faith in Christ.

Christ’s body redefines us all and we are all part of Him.  Our human, fleshly ways of ordering community are challenged by the union we have with Christ through the Spirit.  The Spirit constitutes community and communal ordering, not fleshly structures based on ethnicity, class, or gender. 
I think lifting up Jesus has much to do with delivering women from oppression… i did not mean to imply that it did not.
Thanks for your challenge.
