I haven't really been following this thread so if I'm repeating 
something or just plain missing the point forgive me.  But, being a 
Christian, on the point of women being weaker I don't think that is 
necessarily what was intended.  There are loads of examples of strong 
women in the Bible.  Ruth comes to mind, as does Priscilla (one of those 
that Paul converted and leader of a couple of churches).  Women are 
definitely different than men (fortunately!), with different strengths 
and weaknesses.  I think that is the point.
