text: "Your 2000+ tradition" is based on what facts? From the days of Jesus Christ, it was the women who remained faithful to him, taught their children, and lived according to the Gospels. They spread the gospel among their family members and friends.
  Women were martyrs. They were founders of monasteries. They were mystics. They were intellectuals. But they didn't write history. Men did and men promulgated themselves as the movers, shakers and builders. But women were the cement that held all of this together."
  
  I don't doubt that what you say is true, except for your statement that it was "the" women who "remained faithful to him, taught their children, and lived according to the Gospels," as if to imply that that men did not.  Women have done wonderful, sometimes miraculous things for the Church.  Nothing I said contradicts that.
