Ever drifting on the seas, welcome nowhere. And BTW, why is it always a man with these opinions?

Apparently God is a man, too.

Women get to be hate mongering leaders in Protestant Christianity, see Anita Bryant and Phillis Shafely as classic examples. The US religious anti gay movement was very heavy on female leadership. They were the figureheads and chief baiters.
But in RCC or Islamic Bigotry Rituals, the men are in charge all they way down the line.
