??? It's not his "metaphor" -- it's the standard and traditional view. See C.S. Lewis' PRIESTESSES IN THE CHURCH?.

From the essay:

We men may often make very bad priests. That is because we are insufficiently masculine. It is no cure to call in those who are not masculine at all.

I’m well aware. The metaphor, if treated literally, is rather hugely, humorously and ironically flawed, which is why it clearly isn’t meant to be treated so literally.
