Yes, the being ‘lovely’, ‘charming’, etc, towards women/female priests has been one of the tools which are used for keeping women down, & keeping people calm about it.
It’s one of the #MaleHeadship #Complementarian #Traditionalist cloaking mechanisms.
Enough.
Time to wake up to it.

This (via @editorialboard.bsky.social) applies to so many groups. I'm tired of being told (in my case, usually them as don't think women can lead/be ordained) that they're so courteous [to women], and we can all just work together and gloss over these differences.

1 This article is unbalanced: it doesn’t acknowledge that @churchofengland.org clergy opposing equality for women in ministry have not followed the 2014 Declaration terms (e.g. parish consultations, reviews, vocation referrals), which were agreed in good faith.
So the agreement is already history.
