And we laity, like ATF above, need to stop treating sexism as though it is somehow different and not as bad or as harmful as other discrimination.  Bull!  Sexism causes more evils in the world than even racism, in large part because it attacks half the population.  We need to start demanding our church get rid of the misogyny we hold against all women in our laws and traditions, and we need to make our priests & Bishops and Cardinals and Popes recognize this hate as hate, and no less than racism!  We need to make them more uncomfortable with keeping these laws than getting rid of them.  We need to stop making excuses for them.

I can't tell you how many priests have tried to explain to me it isn't really hate.  I tell them a tree is known by its fruit.  Sexism causes more global evils & many of the same exact global evils as racism, ethnic hatred, and religious hatred, which we call hate. So if its fruits are the same or worse, its fruits prove its substance as a tree-per Jesus Christ.
