“Women in our church who feel the need to speak” - that said a lot.
Short meeting.
What does “That says a lot” mean? Women who feel the need to speak, speak. Women who do not feel led to speak are quiet. Are you suggesting that the women who speak at mass do NOT feel the need to speak? Then why are they there?
After having been raised by a woman, having lived with a woman for 32 years, and having raised three women, I can state with much authority and confidence that not only do all women feel the need to speak, they do indeed speak at every possible occasion.
