Why can't we just all get along?

Hello.
Welcome to Lent.

I have done a fair bit of reading and studying about sexism, feminism, etc.  In my not-so-humble opinion, many people are trapped in the basic dualistic thinking that so pervades our society (and church).

My reading about the Trinity, coupled with a very active three-dimensional spatial imagination,  suggests a way out of this dualism. It supersedes the dualism implicit in the  two seemingly irreconcilable choices currently offered -- "equality" and "complementarity" (cf. "The church women want" ed. Elizabeth Johnson, Herder and Herder, 2002).

My thesis is to a) completely divorce descriptions of behavior, thinking, feeling, etc. from biological reality; and b) use a multi-dimensional model to reflect the complexity of human behavior and interaction.

I appreciate your feedback; this is definitely a work in progress!  (If you call this progress (!)
