Another... Couple Articles I Enjoyed

Ok, Ok, so i know this is my top 3 and this makes it 4 (technically), but these two articles are interrelated I think.  One from a males perspective and another from a females perspective.  They address the recent emphasis on the "Feminine Genius" by our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and his predecessors.  I find both of these articles saying the same thing, just in different ways (As it should be when the Masculine and Feminine Genius' unite).  The thesis seems to be this: We absolutely need to look at the Feminine Genius and how the unique gifts, talents and wisdom that women possess can build up the Body of Christ, but if we singularly concentrate on femininity and how it can be used for the betterment of Christ's Church, we run the risk of making masculinity the normative form of human existence, so to speak, and see women as "special" in an awkwardly wrong sense.  To address this lopsided emphasis (the writers claim), we need an equally penetrating and comprehensive look into what masculinity can do to strengthen Christ's Kingdom on earth as well.  Only by looking at both of the normative forms of human existence, which share the same dignity with full equality, can we then better understand the complementarity of both sexes and how they can work in tandem to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt 28:19).  Thus we will better model how God fashioned things "In beginning" when "in His own image and likeness... male and female He created them" (Gen 1:1, Gen 1:27).  That's just what I gathered from the articles below, read them and form your own opinion, then let me know what you think!
