We do not look at the created likeness of God in a man (the human being Adam) for a plurality of persons in Adam, do we? No, we should no sooner do such a thing as we might were we also to think that we should look at God's creation of "them" (the man Adam and the woman Eve) for indication that in God there is mixed gender. We do not read "God created them in his image, but rather, "God created the man [Adam] in his image, in God's image he created him [Adam]." The apostle Paul uses this very gender-restricting imaging of God in Adam in order to make his point that the man is better suited for the role of headship over the woman than were one of the marriage partner's headship over the other a thing vested in the woman (1 Corinthians 11:7-10). It is true that in the matter of the role for exercising headship in a marriage, God has given that role to the masculine gender; that gender in humans more closely resembles God's identity only insofar as the matter of one's having the qualities for exercising headship is concerned. It has nothing to do with mental or logical acumen, but has to do with the emotional makeup of the female gender.
