Good informative article, but the above bolded phrase is unsupported and out of place. Jesus elevated women from non-person status up to an equal moral footing with men..."There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
It was indeed "moral" for Christ to recognize the dignity not only of women but also of children, the poor, the dying. (A good post in that respect is this one: What are We ... Spouse, Child, Citizen ... to Make of Christ?).
But he refers, I believe, to the fact women are -- generally speaking -- more forgiving, more tolerant, more compassionate, more Christ-like than men. Prior to their being massaged by post-war Madison Avenue into becoming Shop-a-holics bent on obtaining every possible Labor-Saving Gadget to make their lives easier, it's true they were more often fixed on things not of this world.
Their unique opportunity for utter selflessness that is motherhood is a primary reason for this, IMHO. It is their inheritance as part of the natural division of labor between men and women as written in the very first cell of every human being. It is for the male to compete in the world and provide shelter, income, defense for the family while women must organize the home AND the children ... through the practice of ritual, instilling of discipline and formation of virtues and principles, among them belief in God, respect for the father's authority, feminine modesty, male respect for women and so forth.
