What does it mean to be Male and Female?

I have been thinking lately about Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.

One of the main things to consider when faced with these issues in the Bible is what is just cultural, and therefore no longer applicable to us today, against what is simply a command or comment on how God wants things for all time (at least here on earth).

These issues are definitely difficult to tread. I think my default position is that I will assume things are permanent commands from God unless it is clear to me that they are cultural. I would rather err, and offend other people, than err and offend God.

I purposely haven't shown my cards here, although those of you who know me know that I usually don't hold them to close to my chest. I hope to slowly talk things out here, as I read and contemplate further.
