Quote of the Day

[Content Note: Misogyny.]"This leaves us having a problem. Forty-two from 44 dioceses approved the legislation and most three-quarters of people of diocesan synods chosen for. You will see lots who question why the overall Synod expressed its mind so in a different way."—Bishop Graham James of Norwich, around the Chapel of England's failure to lift the prohibit on female bishops. Yes, it is a real mind-scratcher why the overall Synod made the decision to disregard the desire of majority and also the manifest evidence that ladies aren't, actually, inferior to males. I can not imagine why they made it happen. Well I Guess I Suppose WE'LL Don't Know It Is A MYSTERY LOST Towards The SANDS Of Your Time!Here is the one thing: Neglecting to clearly title misogyny, as if it's some kind of curious relic instead of an energetic and pervasive bigotry which influences choices and routinely underwrites choices that marginalize women, guarantees misogyny's survival. There's no decent justification for creating space to be able to imagine there can be another reason, some mitigating factor, some totally reasonable reason behind actions that codify women's status as under.If spokespeople for that Chapel of England are seriously interested in equality, then they have to get seriously interested in the truly ugly character of inequality. Not talk around it and grant permission to bigots with ironic notions of "respect."The only method to eliminate misogyny would be to refer to it as out, to confront it, to discuss it honestly.No oppression has have you been eradicated with a careful, polite, diligent deference to pretending it does not exist.
