“What woman truly believes she is not equal to a man?”

[Moonwalk]

23. "What woman believes she's not equal to a man?"--as said before, "Nun..."

Or in this case, Nuns. I applaud them on the one hand for not folding, for standing tall and fighting back, but I'm mystified as to why any woman, thinking herself equal to a man, would join any religion that makes her, by fiat, perpetually inferior and beholding to men. These nuns have only to take a step sidewise into the Episcopalian church and they'll be able--if they wanted--to be bishops. They'd be able to vote and have their views matter. If they stayed as they were, they'd be under the leadership of women as well as men.

Why would a women who knows herself as equal to a man--certainly in regards to religious knowledge and vocation--be part of a religious organization that never has and never will (or so it seems) give equality to its women?

As if it ever made any sense to segregate the sexes in the first place. If the focus is on the spiritual, then why should anyone's gender matter?
