As a woman and a member of a ""Brethren"" ""church"" (we prefer ""Christian assembly""), I do take offense to that statement. It's not a matter of woman having the same ""privileges"" as men. They simply have different duties- the men have the responsibility to teach in public, and the women have the responsibility to teach in the home. The Bible isn't sexist. It simply has two seperate but important roles, one assigned to men and the other given to women."
