Some have more opportunities than others but with God we have an equal playing field. He is no respecter of any mans person and intellect does not guarantee understanding. Do you have anything undergird such a statement? Elsman cites the fact that there are no well known female theologians.

JUDY,
DO WE HAVE TO SAY THE PAINFUL AND OBVIOUS?
A. NOBEL PRIZES. BEYOND NAMES LIKE MADAME CURIE, THERE IS VERY LITTLE.
B. CORPORATE LEADERSHIP. BEYOND HR DEPTS., THE WOMEN HAVE HIT A GLASS -CEILING WITH A FEW TOKEN EXCEPTIONS, I.E. FARINA OF HEWLETT-PACKARD.
C. MILITARY LEADERS.
D. IN LAW AND MEDICINE, THEY HAVE DONE WELL, BUT THEY FLAME OUT BY THE TIME THEY ARE 50. I DON'T SEE BUT A FEW TRIAL LAWYERS THAT ARE FEMALE AND 50+.
E. ENGINEERING , PATENTS AND ARCHITECTURE? NOT EVEN A BLIP.
F. (AS AN ASIDE, YOU WILL NOTE THAT PLACES WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NOT BEEN ARE DEVOID OF CREATIVE THOUGHT----INDIA, CHINA AND JAPAN (COPYCATS) BY BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.
I CONCEDE THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT LIMITS WOMEN SERVING CHRIST. THEY ARE LIMITED BY I TIMOTHY 2:12. THEY CAN HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER A MAN.
IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT----IT JUST IS.

P.S. OH, YEAH, YOU HAVE ONE GENERAL FOR THE USA IN IRAQ----SHE IS IN CHARGE OF PRISONS, AND IS SEXUALLY TORTURING IRAQI PRISONERS, I.E. A REAL BUTCH.
