This brief article by David Talcott poses some questions about which students are puzzling but finding hard to articulate. Does being a man or a woman have any ethical significance for the way we live together in civil society? Is there is something irreducibly significant about being a man or being a woman. Talcott says our male and female natures mean something for us and call forth something from us. That something is a something that extends to all of life, since we are male and female in all of life. See if students agree and how they understand the Genesis 1 & 2 texts and other biblical contents.
