As I wrote in last year’s post for these chapters (note the link to it in the underlined words), I can think of some good reasons why God’s treatment of women should differ from His treatment of men. The difference didn’t disparage or devalue women; rather, it gave them the good fortune to be granted reprieve from their “thoughtless utterances,” a privilege that men didn’t have. Our culture trains us to take offense at different treatment for women; we need to recognize that deception for what it is and instead submit to God’s higher ways and thoughts for our good.
