Is where I am having trouble keeping up. I know we have mentioned it twice already but parenthood was a task given equally to both but with distinct roles within it.

I see problems with this statement, Gazza. In Gen 1, God did give “parenthood” therefore he didn’t give “roles” (father and mother). Rather God commanded they multiply which is not language on “roles”. Being fruitful and increasing was the task given and notice it is not worded in language that would describe “roles” because God is not assigning roles or giving roles as a task. The text just does not in anyway read as “roles” being given. It’s important HOW the text conveys what it does.
