This morning I've come across a passage in Ephesians 2 : 10-22 for context -- "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them....... but now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near b the blood of Christ. For He, Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing walls of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace. And might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross , thereby killing the hostility...... For through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father....... built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus , Himself being the cornerstone, In whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord......"
For the believer, God has good works prepared for us to do. We don't Do good works to get To God the Father.
Are you by any chance a man who believes that since it was Eve -- a woman -- who was deceived by satan -- that anything a woman says / does is Probably not correct -- needs to be corrected by a 'Christian' man.

Long Answer:
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
1Co 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Short Answer is No:
Women seem to be better multi-taskers / thinkers however Men seem to be the better long term planners and see the overall picture "in my observations"
Women were created for Men to be helpmates and counselors with the Man having the authority because the Man typically heads the house and typically provides and protect.
Even though Sarah called Abraham Lord; Abraham still listened to Sarah and took advice from her.
