How Not To Oppress Women: A Roman Catholic Guide

1. Get all the powerful men in your entirely male-run organization together.
2. Decide to more or less ignore the women who’ve been saying, “Hey! You don’t respect us as a class, and here’s why, and here’s what it’s like for us as a result. OUR EXPERIENCES. WE ARE SHARING THEM. WITH YOU. RIGHT NOW. EARTH TO ROME, DO YOU READ?”
3. Instead just state that you DO respect women. Because just saying the words totally makes it so, even if all outward appearances suggest otherwise.
4. If they keep talking, say “YUH-HUH!” (preferably in Latin).
5. Congratulate yourself on proving you respect women by ignoring all the women who claim you don’t respect women.

OH PURGATORY YES!

Also: INSIST is about anything BUT controlling women! It is about babies! It is about tradition! It is about the model Jesus laid out for us! It is about NATURE! But none of this is about controlling women!

This made me laugh and also cringe, for it is my experience of Holy Mother Church. (And you’re posting! Which I missed! How? Must add to Google Reader!)
