Yeah, that is pretty funny. The problem with a gender neutral Bible is that none of it happened in gender neutral time. Unless you were an Amazon living on the Island of Lesbos, women were considered secondary citizens at best and property at worst. Compared to many other religious and political writings of its day, the Bible is actually very generous when it comes to women. Its only when you compare the Bible to life now that it seems so sexist.
