Patriarchy limits us to our biological nature.  God invites us to transcend our biological nature.
Our biological/animal nature gives us instincts to hoard resources for ourselves and to be physically aggressive toward anything perceived as a threat.  Obviously, faith asks us to take on supernatural values of peacemaking, cooperation, and seeking the common good through generosity and service.  
There are biological differences between males and females, but why limit ourselves to our animal biology when we can seek the supernatural integration of masculine and feminine natures?  God is neither male nor female but contains both aspects.
Ever notice that older people who are truly wise and spiritually astute outgrow the gender stereotyped thinking and behaviors?  Men who are becoming mature develop an inner life of emotional intelligence and relationality, women becoming mature develop courageous, active roles in society.   Is there hope for the church to grasp this vision?
