Hi Rick,

Your opinion and personal experiences, as a male, are completely irrelevant. I am speaking from having grown up in the so-called progressive non-denominational Christian community, and as a woman, I am acutely aware of the things I discussed and how they impact the women around me. You, however, apparently cannot empathize at all, nor would I expect you to relate as you appear to be part of the problem. I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your views.
