A Possible Resolution To Presumed Gender Inequality In The Church And Society?

[wenglund]

As a male who has been both in the army and a nurse, and who has seen some truly amazing female soldiers, I deeply resent this portion of your remark. Perhaps if you pulled your head out of your neather region and tried to understand gender roles in the 21st century you would realize that there are many proud heterosexual nurses who happen to be men. Additionally there are some amazing soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who are female. There is no reason any profession needs to be tied to a gender. Are you upset by female physicians and lawyers as well? Perhaps you should work on that and them women in the priesthood wouldn't be such a streach to you.

I thought the parody/satire would have been obvious on its face, but then I added the disclaimer just to be safe. Apparently, though, in your case that wasn't sufficient. I am not sure what else I could have done to avoid your clear misunderstanding.

As I said, and as he implied, it's called satire. As a Celt, it's in my blood to recognize well done satire, and Wade is very good at it.

Even if this were well executed satire, satirizing women's equality is not something to be congratulated about. Just for yucks, lets try a satire of racial equality next.

If what is meant by "women's equality" is a genderless society, then it is ripe for satire.

Maybe if there was a woman(not a frumpy one) or a gay man in charge of decorating the inside of the church building, it wouldn't be so drab!

As expected, you didn't get it. The satire was of so-called "marriage equality" and SSM. I used the women's movement to illustrate the nonsense of mangling the definition of marriage.

If you would like, I can use racial issues to do the same. For example, we can affect racial equality by redefining "Whites" or "Caucasians" to include Blacks, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American. This way, everyone will be considered as "White," thus eliminating any possibility of racial disparities as well as racial profiling and removing any need for racial quotas or racial identities. If there are any disparities and profiling it will just be among us "Whites." Wont that be great? LOL

The point being, as simple as it would be to change definitions, the changed definitions don't alter the core or underlining issues and don't really bring about equality.
