I understood that you were arguing more from a postmodern standpoint, but the problem that I had with your assertion that you were drawing a line that really doesn’t appear in the text. Had you said something to the jist of, ‘Christianity is sexist because it calls women to be subservient to men (specifically wives submit to your husband)’, then you would have made loose connection that modern society would seem to understand to the passage in Ephesians. Women not voting just isn’t there in the text of Timothy. People have argued that the Bible calling wives to submit to their husbands is a connection that has already been made by modern societal thought. I think that was the point I was trying to get you to see.
I think I twice wrote that there are no specific references to women's suffrage in the bible, as it had not been considered at the time (therefore you won't find anything specific in the Bible about voting)... However, I do get your point. I was extrapolating an example of nonsensical sexual inequality, disregarding context. I don't think context has any weight in supporting the inequality.
I do see your point, though.
I promise I'm done with bible study arguments.
I was alluding to the fact that homosexuality is not exclusive to h0m0 sapiens sapiens (modern man).
