    How fun. I was just talking to my daughter about how incredibly sexist the Catholic Church is yesterday.

    She said that someone she was talking to online excused the ‘women must not speak in church’ part of the New Testament as saying that makes nuns possible. So since she knows basically nothing about Catholicism, I explained to her the major power imbalance between priests and nuns and how the patriarchal structure of the Catholic Church will keep it that way for the foreseeable future.
