Women - Justice or Theology?

I have been hesitant to post or say anything in regards to Mark Driscoll's comments about "Fat, Lazy Pastor's Wives" because it is such a personal issue for me. I have also been hurt and offended by some of Mark's statements both recently and in the past.

Today I read Rose Madrid-Swetman's open letter to Mark. It was so gracious I felt the need to comment.

I have been thinking more lately about how the issue of justice relates to the woman question. What if the issue of women in ministry/leadership is not as much an issue of theology as it is an issue of justice? What would that mean for me and the many other woman who struggle with what God is calling us to. What would that mean to fully realize that "equal, yet different in role" is perhaps just as hurtful as the previously used phrase "separate but equal."
