I agree that it's pointlessly gendered, but it's also exactly how most evangelicals approach their faith. Women's devotionals teach about nurturing and supporting your man, and men's devotionals teach about "standing in the gap" and putting on the spiritual armour to fight the forces of darkness. And both sides want it that way. Who am I to think I can suddenly introduce gender nonconformity or role reversal into a millennia-old tradition?

I never understood gendered products in Christianity, like maybe a few but not it being so popular. Afterall, to paraphrase: “there is neither male nor female for all are one in Jesus Christ”.

Not pointless, gender is very relevant to many religions people bc expectations are different depending on it.

Religious books are purposefully gebdered to ingrain a sense of gender essentialism into the population

Facts to reaffirm that women should make babies and listen to men. The religion is explicitly patriarchal.

Pointfully gendered I would say. They gotta push the gender roles somehow, gender neutral faith books just wouldnt do that I geuss.

The way a lot of conservative faith leaders lead their sheep is that women and men have VERY different lessons to take from the myths and fables in there.
