It's only tangentially related to the subject, but if you believe the Bible is sexist - and I very much agree - the next logical step in my eyes would be avoiding gender-loaded language, such as "man-made".

The Bible was literally man-made. I really doubt that women had much to do with its original authorship or redaction history.

However the interpretation of the bible by various theologians was about as influenced by women as say physics, chemistry or evolutionary biology. In other words not very much either, but its not hard to come up with one or two influential women.
