   Men and women are equal, but not interchangeable.  The Baha’i adage that men   
   and women are like the wings of a bird is well intentioned, but it misses an   
   important point.  We are not mirror images of each other.  Our equality is   
   asymmetrical.   
      
   This is why, I suppose, women are not permitted to serve as members of the   
   UHJ.     
      
   I find it curious that there are Baha’is who disagree with that doctrine,   
   and yet declare themselves to be followers of the faith.  Indeed, they   
   disagree with much more than that, and yet hold themselves forward as   
   Baha’is.  One wonders.
