Fairness: free from discrimination, dishonesty, etc; just; impartial
Discrimination: an act or instance of discriminating, or of making a distinction.
What you've suggested is not fair, just, or impartial. It is, however, the very definition of discrimination. You are making a distinction not only between the sexes but by age as well.
If it's not your error, then it must be a flaw in the Gnostic belief.
You claim the belief superior for holding all souls equal, but admit to Gnosticism advocating for discrimination based on sex and age. You have stated these are your literal beliefs, so you should be aware of this contradiction.
If equality is the yardstick by which you believe the superiority of a belief is judged, then the discrimination aspect of Gnosticism would preclude the possibility of it actually being a superior belief.
I'm pleased to have the opportunity to learn about yours.
Section 13 of your link on Gnosticism specifically stated the right to choose, and the freedom to make your own choices, as an important tenet of your religion. What you propose violates that right, violates that freedom, for the people you're discriminating against. Perhaps they should update that section to make it clear that: Men do not have this right to decide, or freedom to choose, under Gnosticism.
I would not, could not, in a box. I would not, could not at the HOP....
If you're good with having unexplained contradictions within your religion, if you don't mind having to be dishonest about the superiority and equality of your beliefs, then that must be what it takes to be Gnostic Christian material.
