The theme of androgyny running through many of these texts is in fact gendered. It passes itself off as even-handed, but as Jane Schaberg makes clear, the androgeny being prescribed is a male-dominant androgyny: the female contained within the male. The prescription is that women should become like men, never men like women.
The Gnostic Goddess, Female Power and the Fallen Sophia
This is why I fell out of love with Gnostic Christianity and other New Age mystic groups that try to emphasise that God is beyond male and female, then falling back into male-as-default language.
You see it a lot in Gnostic circles where the female character - Barbelo, Sophia, Eve, Magdalene - is always seen as the ‘other’, while the male character - Yahweh, Adam, Yeshua, Seth etc is described as having been perfect in their androgyny before separated from their ‘feminine side’. These religions would say “when we say Adam or Yeshua of course we are talking about neither a man or woman but both!” but when speaking of Eve or Magdalene, they are specifically talking about the feminine alone, and not always in the most flattering terms. Usually as a metaphor for a ‘missing piece’ that is lost or fallen, in need of rescuing by the male counterpart.
For some reason the idea of an all-powerful, agender being using He/Him pronouns is fine, but using She/Her pronouns and imagery while still being whole in Herself is wrong (unless you’re Good Omens, which is awesome).
