Keen observation, SW,,,,,, all we only children are unique, and we never loose the gift.
Picking up the observation of eurocentric hermeneutic of Scripture, take Scripture seriously enough to read it in context,,,, the traditional marriage (and place of women in civil and religious society) I described was pretty much, with slight regional variatiions on the theme, the way of things in Our Lord's time as well as St Paul's and in the Classical and Semitic world as well,,,,,, still is in some parts of Europe and most of Arabia and the pre modern Orient.
Best to brush up on your American social and political history, SW,,,, the subordination of women is all over the place, enshrined in law, custom, and religious practice. Easy example is that a slave in the ante bellum South had more standing than the white lady living in the big house.
Present day morphs of same are the ongoing issues of the role of women in religious (and civic) life,,,, Islamic, Jewish, Christian same thing, same agruements from sacred texts out of context and repristinations of premodern culture. Most are more subtle and insidious than the occasional honor killings in immigrant Muslim communities,,,, but it's just a matter of degree, not kind.
That's why it is wsdom for the topic of this thread or not, to accept Scripture and reality as they really are, and not impose eurocentric or any number of other gospels on them. Shorter version, time to get Moses off our backs.
