Another apt apt comparison may be to Elon Musk and the rest of the technology "hierarchy" in the paucity of women they follow on Twitter.

On Monday the Guardian reported that Musk followed zero women and 24 men. The CEO of Google follows 238 men and 21 women, tech venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, 175 men and 25 women, Bill Gates, 57 men and 12 women, Apple CEO Tim Cook, 20 men and four women.

Like Musk et al, the Church hierarchy really doesn't care about the thoughts, ideas, feelings and wisdom of 50 percent (more than 50 percent of church workers and volunteers) of the human race.

As far as I am concerned this deliberate, willful ignorance goes to a long way to explaining why the Church and the world are in the terrible shape they are in.

Can you imagine, for example, women bishops protecting pedophiles and shipping them off to somewhere new so they can molest a whole new group of children? Me neither!
