---------
Leadership that is only male, precludes female leadership;
how hard is it to understand that? Last time I looked, it
was still possible to have a female president/vice.

Leadership is a new code word for male supremacy?

--------
Yes, the opinion of ONE PKer....only one. :] That
is what started the wearing of veils in Iran, and the
methods used by Taliban.

----------
Why would he have to? The idea that rebellious women can
be "cured" by a good fuck has been expressed since
the dawn of time. This is hardly anything NEW. The
only difference is that the fuck is spirtual rather
than physical.

----------
Is it the PK stance that you must follow your wife's
spiritual leadership in the self-same way she must
follow yours, or are roles assigned. (I already know
the answer, but I'm not sure you're willing to admit
it). Equality is not anarchy.

----------
The priest gets the duty of service and all the RIGHTS
that accompany the title. Trying to portray it only
as duty, is doing a disservice to those who want the
REST OF THE STORY.

---------
How is it possible to be "overlyinfluenced" by those
who comprise over 1/2 of humanity. Shouldn't that
huge group have just over 1/2 of the "say" in how
we conduct ourselves.

---------
In the same way that a few Muslims make women wear
veils, having nothing to do with the listed precepts
of the religion, PK has their own agenda which includes
the submission of women. We don't buy what you're
trying to sell, a white-wash of bigotry.
