There are those who would remind us that the Church of Jesus Christ is a new humanity and in it all differences are abolished, quoting from the book of Galatians that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female.
This is true relative to the spiritual status. We are all saved by the same precious blood of Christ, filled with the same Holy Spirit and are all equally priests before God, having the same privileged access to Him.
In reference to gender one could say that the soul is a‑sexual, and will, in the resurrection enter an a‑sexual body in a Kingdom where they neither marry nor are given in marriage.
That time will herald the new humanity in its entirety, but until then some differences will remain, and because they do the Scriptures have particular instructions for each. One of the reasons for writing this book was to bring the relevant passages to bear on the various positions of family members; men, women, children and unmarried etc.
When we consider the strong masculine aspect of Scripture, we must bear in mind the very strong family ties of those days. Among the Jews particularly there has always been family solidarity, and possibly their persecution from without has caused this.
It must also be noted that their religious laws also required it. Their laws gave authority to the men; in the nation, in the synagogue and in the home. Filial respect was given to elders, and in our Lord's prayer in John 17 He reverently addresses God as "Holy Father".
Of course in all human relationships there is abuse, and history tells of husbands who divorced their wives for the flimsiest of excuses, such as putting too much salt in the dinner.
