Beautiful essay! Loved it and agree completely with his view that the genders are immutably different, as the God of Abraham intended. However, I had trouble with one line, which may simply have been ambiguously worded, in which he said that McCain might never have read the description of a good woman in the Book of Proverbs.
It’s not clear whether the author meant that John McCain does not make a point of knowing the contents of the Bible, or whether the author is under the misconception that Christians do not read the Jewish Bible, hence would not have read Proverbs.
While the most motivated Christian believers read the Bible on their own, all those who attend services hear the Christian worship liturgy, which includes readings from both the Jewish Bible and the Gospel of Christ (Old and New Testaments) at every service.
The McCains attend services. Given his age, surely John McCain has heard the contents of the Book of Proverbs, since the churches rotate through the entire scriptures year after year.
I've never been to a church that did that (been through several denominations). Linking all my church time together (and that's a lot), if I hadn't read the Bible through and through, over and over, I would not have got the whole thing in a church.
