Well, don't get me wrong, "egalitarian" is not a dirty word. To be egalitarian simply means to treat equally. But as it is used in the context of the debate between egalitarians/complementarians and the roles of men and women in the home and church, "egalitarianism" refers to the view that insists on not only ontological equality between the genders, but functional equality as well. Complentarians say that there is ontological equality, but functionally the two sexes complement each other rather than mirror or compete with each other.
