God Himself identified Himself as Father!
2Sa 7:14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men,
All Jews considered God their "Father". ALL Jews did. Male or Female. They did not have personal issues over it like you do or today's psychologically weak generation.
You aren't helping anyone by bowing to a small shrill minority that hate God

don't confuse topics. paul said all women should wear veils. was that the "inspired" word of god or a fallible verse of scripture from paul speaking from a "cultural context"?
i am not saying that paul is a chauvinist for using father, that is a separate issue. i am saying that paul is a chauvinist for saying that women should keep silent in the church, should not have authority over men, and should learn in silence and ask their husbands when they get home. is that the inspired word from god or paul speaking humanly from a cultural context?
