At least you saw the humor in the statement about women.
But I am guessing you do not approve of a woman being a lector or reader. Am I right?

Like all the rest of these abuses, rather than attempt fruitlessly to attack them one at a time, you can cut every last one off at the source simply by attending the traditional Catholic Mass.

Personally I don't think it is a good idea to have women in the sanctuary, period. I won't argue on scriptural grounds, simply as a practical matter. Allowing women in the sanctuary entices the radical feminists to bellow for even more "rights." Some non-radical-feminist women will be "converted" to radical feminism by being in the sanctuary. Additionally, the more often you put women in the sanctuary, the more the men will stay away. They will simply let the women do it. A way to solve this is to have no one but the priest and altar BOYS in the sanctuary. The priest can do the readings. We don't need lay people to do them. The sancuary is special ground. Priests and servers only. Men have been somewhat "de-balled" since the 1960's liberal revolution, in both the secular and religious arenas. The media doesn't help. For father figures we have gone from Father Knows Best and My Three Sons to Archie Bunker and Fred Sanford to Al Bundy and Homer Simpson. Having women take over in the Church, gives men an additional excuse to be Al Bundy and Homer Simpson.
