What do the Scriptures reveal about women?
1. God designed women with equal dignity
2. Jesus treats women with radical dignity
“Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the Cradle and last at the Cross. They had never known a man like this Man - there never has been such another. A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronised… who took their questions and arguments seriously… never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female; who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend… There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity; nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything "funny" about woman's nature.” Dorothy Sayers

3. The church is called to restore and uphold the dignity of women
The speech from the Barbie movie film describing how impossible it is to be a woman in our cultural moment:
You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the — time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people.
You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
