However, also this might be another guy/gal semi-misunderstanding. Women often hold contexts in their mind without making them explicit, and if she’s really off there in some relative world, she can sound like she’s gone mad. Men tend to understand explicit context better. Sometimes to the point of pushing it to another fault, such as requiring that an important theological principle be elucidated in exactly one scripture passage rather than by using multiple passages to shed light upon one another. Monomania has its own limitations.

True - but denying there are men and women kind of trashes God's strong views for marriage. On this earth, we are males and females - in the Bigger picture, we are His children.

My wife likes to say we are spiritual beings having a human experience - kind of helps keep things like the Galatians passage in context.

Like you said in your post just to me - context is king.
