Such statements should be qualified as being "your opinion" and not authoritative.
Drake has remarked: "...if Jane Anderson has a point of view then let's see it. I'm willing to hear her out on one or more of these "lemon" verses."
Uh...Jane wrote a book. The best way to hear her out is to spend $2.99 and download the Kindle version. I will soon, hopefully, be able to post a Readers Digest condensed version of a few major points, but this takes time. It's a good read. You might actually enjoy it.

If we read into that a bit further we'll find that scholars have suggested it's authorship was hidden by the early church fathers or early Christians out of embarrassment that it was written by a woman or so as not to cause offense.
Let us also ask the question of how many women were involved in defining the Canon of Scripture, the creeds, or the doctrine of the Trinity?
