He may be concerned that should he support this wish people like me would protest loudly that this is an offence against women who should be ordained first & a suggestion of outright gender segregation.  I would protest at any parish that was given a married priest if we changed this rule if we were not first ordaining women priests.  Shame on all of us for supporting such a form of oppression against women. 

We are not just low on priests but we are getting low on women too and especially young women and also young men.  Misogyny is ugly.  Again, we do not now nor have we had in the past a vocation crisis.  We have a misogyny crisis and we need to stop lying about it and running away from it.

In fact there was just two articles in NCR (which both got taken down in appx 3 days of course) stating women are leaving our church due to unequal ordination practices & that the young on the preliminary board for the next synod are angered and don't feel equally valued for the same reason.
