Religious Women

[-Talbot-]

Unless I'm mistaken every religion treats you like a second class citizen... so what can the possible draw to religion be?

[Theland]

Naomi - my answer above.

Theland, why isn't it 'my place' to become a Bishop - should I be so inclined?

[spathiphyllum]

I'm sure if you ask'd these women if they felt like second class citizens, they would say no.

But from a male outside perspective i'm not sure you saying it makes it true.

Many people think Muslim women are suppressed due to Burkas etc.. But a lot of Muslim women actually choose to wear them, and say they feel empowered..

How many religious women have you spoke to? Have you kept a chart of things they've similarly said? How much of your religious knowledge is from the grape vine instead of from a true source?

...and you can you please tell me Theland which jobs you are exempted from simply by being a man? People should not 'know their place' they should be anything they wish to be.

[spathiphyllum]

^ there are a few, actually.

[kvalidir]

Off you go then Spath...

[spathiphyllum]

got any male only jobs??

[kvalidir]

Apart from anything which involves your sexual genetics like an egg donor, that's rubbish, plenty of male nannies, midwives, beauty therapists etc- what a load of old nonsense- have you been living in a Dickens novel lately?

[spathiphyllum]

the term majority.. was used. And, it is true.

Now... Jobs women are not allowed to do?

[kvalidir]

Bishops, Pope... in fact all to do with religion...

[spathiphyllum]

"Apart from anything which involves your sexual genetics"


Well that is literally the only difference between men and women, so apart from anything like that we're all human baby.

[spathiphyllum]

what about a nun?

[Rockrose]

My friend had 3 male nannies Kval for her 2 boys chose them over women as she thought it would encourage more interest in sports etc. She was very happy with them

[kvalidir]

We weren't talking about majority though Spath, that's water muddying, we were talking about religion making women second class citizens, not the fact there are fewer male midwives than female ones. You cannot be a lady Bishop, there's a massive difference.

[spathiphyllum]

they're still a minority.
