What is B.S. about a man wanting to posses a wife to call his own?
In the Christian heaven, there are no marriages. That is what that text is saying about an imaginary realm populated by fully equal souls.
Androgynous souls, if we are to be created in Yahweh's image. The Jewish, not Christian Yahweh.
It also says that human males have a possession sense that helps makes them do their duty of dying for women and children, should the need arise.
Non-androgynous man, which is what we are, given that Christianity does not recognize the androgynous Yahweh, has decided to not do as Yahweh programmed and share our women, because neither side wanted it.
In the old days, it also meant that if the male of the family died, his neighbors were to absorb what was left into another home, if required.
What problems do you see with those rules to live life by?
The fact that no Gnostic Christian sect ever did what you say I have to defend, ---because you cannot understand the defence I gave of the text, --- shows that you do not see it saying that men's instincts and desires demanded specific wives and did not give credence to sexual universality on Earth. Only in heaven, just as the other Christianity had.
The ancient religions tried to venerate married sex to control populations where recourses were limited. That is why Temple Prostitutes were so important to the church and King's economy.
Temple Prostitutes were thought of as non-specific, in sexual terms.
You want me to defend for that? I can.
I cannot defend what was never tried, because real men and women would not participate.
