Is Flexidox Judaism and Modern Orthodox Judaism the same?

Flexidox Judaism doesn't even appear on Wikipedia. However from the books I have on Religion I notice that it seems to be a correction of Orthodoxy - that is trying to down play the extremism in the Religion. Flexidox Judaism became lightly recognized in 2003 by Rabbi Gershon Winkler. That is he believed that the Hebrew Bible gave women the same equal rights as men. Also he believes that gay Rabbis could be ordained. A concept which is against Torah.

It is not the same thing. Because in Judaism the female knows her role that she is subordinate to the male figure in the family or religious practice and that God is against homosexuality. So I would consider it a heresy and not a form of Judaism or the same thing as Orthodoxy.

@Waj, I agree this is what happens when one follows tradition and not the literal words of the Torah. Secularism enters the faith.
 
In 2003 Rabbi Gershon Winkler coined the term Flexidox as a corrective to Orthodoxy, "reflecting its original intent and spirit as opposed to its otherwise superficial extremities." A flexidox Jew may think the Torah was written by people, but keep kosher and the Sabbath laws. He or she may pray in an Orthodox synagogue, but support equal synagogue roles for women and the ordination of gay rabbis.
