I’m 6 chapters deep into “Genesis of Gender” by Favale. It’s not nearly as technical as do Vale, it seems but to your point about practical theology, I think Favale is a bit better. She gives much of the essential arguments between sex and gender. It’s clear and concise. I’ll have to look into do Vale’s book but he doesn’t seem to be clear on somethings as you pointed out. I do think we need fewer ivory tower books on gender partly why I find myself recommending Favale’s book more. I’m hoping the second edition updates and clarifies on the points you raised.
My point was that librarians do WAY more than “check in books.” I have a library degree, love libraries and reading, so care a lot about how libraries and librarians are portrayed…
Yeah, not the best analogy with the librarian quote!!
I upvoted this before realizing that we disagree. I thought the librarian analogy was pretty good. But I might be biased because I love librarians!
