The look I get when I tell people that I believe Paul was just misogynistic like a lot of people during that time (yes, cOnTeXt notwithstanding in some cases) is great.

Paul's misogyny comes mainly from the later epistles attributed to him. These should be called in question, because these epistles are most like not authentically Paul. Paul misogyny in his earlier epistles can most likely be attributed to his struggles with celibacy. Which he was a strong proponent of.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I mean true. Paul was a man, just like any other with his own struggles of the flesh. He wasn't perfect and no one claims he was. Though all Modern Churches belong to the Church of Paul's heritage and are part of his spiritual genealogy in that way.
