Reasons why men should not be ordained

 1. Men are too emotional to be priests. Their conduct at football and
    cricket matches shows this.

 2. A man's place is in the army.

 3. Some men are so handsome, they will distract women worshippers.

 4. Their physical build indicates that men are more suited to tasks
    such as chopping down trees and wrestling mountain lions. It would be
    "unnatural" for them to do other forms of work.

 5. In the New Testament account, the person who betrayed Jesus was a
    man.  Thus, his lack of faith and ensuing punishment stands as a
    symbol of the subordinate position that all men should take.

 6. Men are overly prone to violence. No really manly man wants to
    settle disputes otherwise than by fighting about it. Thus
    they would be poor role models, as well as being dangerously unstable
    in positions of leadership.

 7. To be an ordained pastor is to nurture the congregation. But this is
    not a traditional male role. Rather, throughout history, women have
    been considered to be not only more skilled than men at nurturing, but
    also more fervently attracted to it. This makes them the obvious choice
    for ordination.

 8. Man was created before woman, obviously as a prototype. Thus, they
    represent an experiment, rather than the crowning achievement of
    creation.

 9. For men who have children, their duties might distract them from the
    responsibility of being a parent.

10. Men can still be involved in church activities, even without being
    ordained. They can still sweep paths, repair the church roof, and
    maybe even lead the singing on Father's Day. By confining themselves
    to such traditional male roles, they can still be vitally important
    in the life of the Church.

11. Because women could not respect a man dressed in a skirt.
