Your question: "How would this label have changed if the Samaritan woman at the well had been a man?" and your words that follow leave me startled, awakened, and saddened. I'm one who always bought into the (lie) that MM was a prostitute. Yikes! Shame on me!
THANK YOU Susy for putting yourself into the role of "guesser" on how reactions would ensue if MM had been, say, Mike Magdalene, instead. Oh. My. Gosh!
