I would like to see a good thorough discussion on masculine gifts and feminine gifts (not just scriptuiral, and not just theological, but anthropological and physiological, including body stucture and brain structure) and some exploration of how different gifts might translate into different roles.

God created the book of nature as well as the book of Scripture, the laws of nature as well as the laws of Scripture.

I think that as long as we live on God's good earth, sex will always be a meaningful category, a category with broad consequences far beyond one's fitness to be a wetnurse or a sperm donor.

The broad, meaningful --- and God-designed, blessed and beautiful --- consequences of male/female: that's what I'd like to see expanded on, celebrated, and implemented.

Interesting comment. I am about half way through Harvey Mansfield's book "Manliness" and I came upon his main thrust today, which is similar to yours. Instead of denying nature and insisting on gender neutrality (similar to anti-gravity in its concepts). His logic highlights the irrationality of the radical feminists strategy based on Nitzsche and Marx and offers a balance based on the gifts of men and women. That is how I interpret the scriptures when it says the two shall be as one. I am an engineer by training and I am constantly awed by God's creative abilities and efficiency of design. If He could have done it with one sex He would have. There must be a deeper reason and I think you are close to the answer.
