It’s the testosterone – it rots their brains.

Seriously, the brothers get very frustrated when the inferior women refuse to bow to their superior knowlege. They really get upset when your scholarship is better than theirs.

Those with brains of the clamshell variety aren’t going to change their minds. Paul could come back and explain to them what he ment and they would not accept it.

The good news is that there are many out there (both men and women) who are sincere seekers of truth and are listening to what you are saying. They are examining the texts and the discussion and are seeking the Lord for understanding. The tide is turning. That really is what has the complementarians rattled.

While I believe there are sincere complementarians who are concerned because they perceive a violation of scripture, I believe many more are motivated by the threatened loss of their power. Religion is a profession for them. Could you imagine what would happen in the SBC if women actually had a voice or (heaven forbid) a candidate at the Convention?
