Yes, the gospel is offensive because of the scandal of the
cross. But the denigration of women (even in the guise of cute jokes
about "the little woman" &c) is no part of the gospel. And to find out
whether or not something denigrates women one has to ask women first of
all - though without limiting the survey to radical feminists.
Shalom,
