Women's Role

The Bible doesn't teach that men and women are equal? Too bad for the Bible. It was written and edited predominantly [totally?] by men from the standpoint of a patriarchal society, so it shouldn't be surprising. There are hints in the gospels that Jesus practiced otherwise.

The only support these views can get from the bible is if they argue biblical ignorance (that the bible is silent) or biblical error (that whole passages are mistranslated).
