Mark,

You wrote: “This is precisely the comp position. Gen 1-3 talks about equality of essence, not function, my precise point.”

So again, are you saying that a male’s authority is not in his essence, but by being born with male reproductive organs?

But, “there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.” according to Jesus in Matthew 19

Or do you have some other way of defining male and female?
