Akin to the lady (was it buffyD?) here are valid reasons about the orthodox Lutheran opposition to priestesses

I am not certain who Buffy is. I received a copy of the response to her that someone sent me. In it Buffy talked about women in the LCMS being second-class citizens. My point was that such language itself, such as second-class citizens, is alien to Christianity. It is the result of a secular ideology worming its way into the church. Whether Buffy realizes it or not, she is making the same error that the mother of James and John made.

Good article, and addresses much of what I have heard of in support of WO.

A friend of mine (a pastor) would love it, because then he could have someone else deal with women. He requires at least one other person present at all talks with a women.

But that is better handled by having a deaconess anyway.
