Great questions and I address all of them head-on in my new book, Unladylike: Resisting the Injustice of Inequality in the Church. 

The taproot for gender inequity is patriarchy and power. 

Jesus did have women disciples. I devote an entire chapter examining how Jesus treated women (which does not match how the church treats women!). 

I sent you a copy, yes, Melody?? Message me if I overlooked doing so!!!

What will it take to change?  In my opinion, it will take women like you and me resisting gender inequity and inspiring other women to do the same. For some women this will mean making difficult choices like leaving their faith tribe. For others, it may mean speaking up as you do with your questions and blogging, and me with my book and writing.  Each woman has to find her way in how she will resolve to respond (and resist) the injustice of gender inequity in the church. 

Read Unladylike. I cover all of this!!
