There are these folks that like to say that Paul was just a homophobic mysogynist and so we shouldn't pay much attention to what he wrote. I thought about these mysogynist claims when we came across the beginning of 1Timothy5 a while back...
Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. (1Timothy5:1-2)
Doesn't sound mysogynist to me. I have met real, honest-to-goodness woman-haters before and they didn't tend to say things like, "You ought to treat women like you treat your mother and your sister - in all purity."
