@im.nurse.liz: This conversation is going to live rent free in my head for awhile. I hear jokes a lot about this type of behavior. But haven’t heard conversations where it was so clear how little these leaders thought women, when it came to skills like leadership and running an organization. I’m used to being surrounded by people who wouldn’t question the capability of someone based on their gender. And it was a stark reminder that that is NOT a given for all people. I don’t know what to do with that information. I just needed to vent about it. Because whoa. Also I know in now way is this how all churches are run. And I understand that many churches do require male leadership. It was the disbelief that women could possibly be capable that blew me away.
Sounds like the men’s program could use female leadership.

I’d laugh if it wasn’t such a nefarious part of patriarchy 😭

I got “in trouble” for choosing a book for my mom’s group at church years ago without the approval of the pastor. My husband was in leadership at

I left a church because a women’s Sunday school class was taught by a man who mansplained how to be a friend. To a group of the kindest women I knew.

I want you to take that concept of "they live among us" and turn it into "they're actively taking over the government". When you look at what's happening through that lense, it becomes a lot scarier, because the threats are real.

Wait, wait. Even SBC lets women run women’s ministry. Otherwise who will cook for the bridal showers and funerals? Hmm? 🤔

You mean the same women that are expected to work a job, take care of multiple children, a husband, a household, cook, clean, keep track of the bills, organize driving schedules for sports and other extras, volunteer for school events…can handle running a small organization? That IS shocking 😂🙄

I'm honestly blown away by how often we're expected to step up and lead (i.e. being home and family manager) but are told we're not capable of doing such things.

I watched a man with a child the other day almost fall over in disbelief cause a woman said she had her daughter at 36. He could not believe she was still able to have children. He had a daughter.

These people are not fringe. That pastor on tv the other week talking about ending women’s votes is not fringe. Probably 20% of people in the US think this way.

Uhhh at an old church of mine the children’s minister (also HAD to be a man 🙄) barely did a thing despite getting a salary for it because the moms/women did most of the work for free because “children’s ministry committee”
