Alright, further research shows that until just recently, women were considered less influential in matters of men, UNLESS, you look at the Coptic text called "the Gospel of Mary," which indicates that Mary Magdalen was the favorite disciple of Jesus. This text, along with others that put women on an equal footing with men in the church were left out of the bible when the books of the new and old testament were agreed on. Of course, the "Gospel of Mary" might have been written by an early feminist, trying to elevate women from second class status. I really did get bored today...
