Actually women did get equal billing. The Gospels recognize that Mary Magdalene was the first to discover the resurrection. If God was politically correct, it would never be recorded this way as at that time a woman’s testimony did not count.
Women were treated well and highly regarded in the New Testament, there are just roles that are reserved for males.
Christianity was the first major faith that put women on an equal footing with men. Not necessarily in terms of every single role of ministry, but as equal heirs in Christ and salvation. As equal persons. As equal spouses. And the promotion of monogamy as the norm and as a symbol of Christ and His Church (the Bride).
Exactly right, both of you!
