It's not just Christian though, it's really all the world's dominant cultures and religions.
But yes, I also like this 'third way'..
I've heard modern thinkers saying all gender stereotyping is wrong but that is too extreme for me. I quite like innocent stereotypes in spiritual teachings where the sun is masculine and the moon is feminine, for instance. At the same time, I also think it's good (even attractive) when men and women can leave the norm and develop their own path.
