Not sure if this is an original thought but here it goes:
I have a theory that if you took the majority of people that have the spiritual gift of discernment, particularly when it comes to spiritual warfare, you would find the majority of those people to be of the female persuasion. Here is why I think this:
A.) From a biblical standpoint, in the Genesis experience, Eve was the only one of the two humans that had direct interaction with the serpent. Therefore, in a way, women are more familiar with the ways of the enemy.
B.) It seems to me that many women Christ Followers have a heightened sense when it comes to the spiritual nature of things. In a group of males & females, it seems the majority of the time the women's spidy senses go off quicker and seem to be more accurate in their assessment than their male counterparts.
So if there is anyway spiritual gifts have a hereditary dominate trait that is more prominent in one gender than the other, then perhaps God gives Women Christ Followers an extra dose of discernment as a form of redemption for the actions of Eve.
Just thinking...
