Yes. So sad that the complementarian position is anchored in an unnecessary trinitarian view. On this see Kevin Giles chapter "" in Discovering Biblical Equality. As for the logic (or lack thereof) on the equal in being, unequal in role, see Rebecca Groothuis' "Equal in Being, Unequal in Role" in the aforementioned.

I find it sadly ironic that the idea hierarchy within the Trinity is a fairly new doctrine created to support complementarianism. I agree that it is an extreme assault on the nature of the Trinity. Of course it is strongly upheld by Grudem et al, but also by other well-known and highly respected theologians such as BWIII. I'm not typically a self-linker, but you might be interested in a couple of posts that I wrote on this topic... Neo-Orthodox? Neo-Orthodox II

Wow, what a sharp mind! I never saw the connection.

No, this William Wallace was an American Poet from the 19th century.

Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother-love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

“What Rules The World” third stanza (1865)
-William Ross Wallace

Rock on, William!
