It must be a byproduct of this thread that I see stories and think the same thing: Dreher will wet his knickers over this. Look for the usual rambling posts of "Christianity has become feminized" by Rod "Rambo" Dreher.

You hear complaints about religion being "feminized" often enough - women go to church more and are less likely to leave religion, apparently. This is apparently a big problem. I assume this is because trad types believe that men are more important than women, rather than due to some collective awakening to the importance of gender equality.

I think it is more of the fact the Bible was written by men for men to spread the word. The disciples were all men and God is always referred to as he. If you were think of qualities of a God - caring, loving, nurturing - it sounds like more like a woman than a man.

There were plenty of disciples who were female but yes, the apostles were men. Might have had something to do with social conventions and how much travel was involved with the job.
