LOL! But I know whereof I speak. Your religion has not yet been subjected to female pastors as heads of congregations. As soon as the mainstream protestant denominations got that, the gay activism followed immediatly, and now those churches are full of gay and lesbian pastors, gay and lesbian pastors lying about being gay because it’s against the rules, gays and lesbians disrupting every national conference to the point of police having to be called into a religious meeting, gay and lesbian teachers in the Sunday School and youth groups, sermons about “acceptance”, “inclusion”, “tolerance”, “social justice” (Marxist style) and, for good measure, “the Bible was written a long time ago”. Many mainstream pastors who are not gay or lesbian are nevertheless big LGBT sympathizers using guilt trips instead of scripture to influence congregations. I even had a pastor try to set up a program so that the gay men of the congregation could take the children of divorced parents out for day trips. Finally I fled to a small, but orthodox apostolic church — that doesn’t allow female pastors.

When I think of the principled theological behavior of men (as in, the guys) I often have to think of the wide cavalcade of OT history in which an entire, classically patriarchal society went off the rails over and over again under the influence of corrupt priests, false prophets, and apostate kings.

Then I have to think of the day of Christ's death and the ignominious behavior of His own hand-picked men: one betrayed Him, one denied Him three times, and the other nine headed out toward the tall grass. Only John proved himself loyal, and that was, incidentally, by sticking with Jesus' mother and the faithful women at the foot of the cross.

Or I recall how the entire national clergy of England collapsed into craven acceptance of that pervert King Henry VIII, who was willing to "redefine marriage," commit treason against the Church, and permanently split Christendom, so he could "marry" his repellent girlfriend and crown her queen of the realm. Every Catholic bishop in England went along with that, with the sole exception of St. John Fisher, who, with St. Thomas More, retained his integrity and was parted from his head as befits a saint.

I don't entirely ignore your story of the moral softness which has come along concurrent with the ordaining of female pastorship within Protesantism. But I think you may have cause-and-effect twisty-tailed around. What you think was the cause, may have been the result.
