After God created Adam He put him into a deep sleep. Upon waking Adam found Eve, his dream come true. From the beginning God created woman as man's helpmate, the mother of his children, of his own body, but different.
There is a woman who is not God but of His own body, His mother Mary. She chose to be perfect and became the perfect channel of love into the world. The Bible recounts many of her perfect choices. Of them are her choices to be God's handmaiden and the mother of His child, of His own body but different.
Christian women can choose to be perfect channels of God's love. We may choose to be his handmaidens serving His Body the Church. We may choose to have His children, children of our own bodies baptized into His Body. We may continue to choose to be a member of His Body by practicing our Faith. Through this Faith we can be the perfect conduits of His love into the world.
Doing all of this are we put down? No, we are God's dream!
Yours in Christ, Grace
