As an old-line feminist who is Catholic and has no problem whatever with an all male clergy, I think it’s more likely that the men are ‘fading away’ because they demand to be in total control of the whole outfit or they’re not gonna play. There is a thread elsewhere in which men whine that wimmin are “taking over” at medical and vet schools and more Girls are attending and graduating from universities. Is that because men CAN’T compete or because they WON’T compete? You tell me.
I think it’s sad that men respond to the presence of successful women in all fields with kicking and screaming and stomping off in a huff. Seems kinda girly to me....
Where in this article does it mention kicking and screaming and stomping off in a huff?
I think... you’re wrong. I think your statement about men requiring total control or they won’t play is like saying whites shouldn’t be allowed to move out of neighborhoods if minority crime becomes rampant. It’s even reminiscent of saying that if women wear miniskirts they’re asking to be raped. The problem with your logic is you’re confusing the way things are with the way things ought to be, or the way you’d like them to be.
Fact: If crime goes up, the gentry are going to move out.
Fact: If women wear revealing clothing and go out in unsafe locations alone, they’re more likely to be raped.
Fact: You take the specialness out of being a Priest, make it seem like a job for fags, make it seem like even if you aren’t one everybody will think you are and won’t want you around their children to boot... we’ll you’ve just killed the odds of getting good, strong, manly role models like Fr. Corapi into the priesthood.
Whose whining now? Deal with it.
