I found this somewhere, it's saved on file but I no longer have the whole page nor url. A question for the more scholarly folks, is there any smidgin of truth to this? (particularly the woman turning into man will enter heaven part)

"It is commonly-taught that Gnostic sects were in some way more sympathetic to women than the orthodox church. However, this is not supported by the Nag Hammadi Gnostic texts, which are now available in English. In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Simon Peter says, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of Life." Jesus replies, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the Kingdom of Heaven" [Nag Hammadi Library in English (Harper & Row, 1981) p. 130]. The Gnostic "Sophia [Wisdom] of Jesus Christ" says "These are all perfect and good. Through these was revealed the defect in the female" [p.221]. In the Gnostic Dialogue of the Savior, Jesus directs his disciples to "Pray in the place where there is no woman," and urges that "the works of womanhood" be destroyed [p.237-8]. In several Gnostic works, God the Father is praised and celebrated as "thrice-male" [p.364,375,446]. Anyone who has been persuaded that Gnosticism was pro-feminist has been duped by political propaganda masquerading as scholarship."
