Historically the vast majority of religious debate and prophesy and writing has been done by males.
It might be me but I can almost always tell that I am debating or discussing something with a woman.
I don’t know if it is their different form of logic or debate style or if it is the types of feelings they bring to a discussion or what.
I am aware of some of the great ladies of the Bible and how they have contributed to religion. No question. I note as well that this place is what 80-90% men.
Women are invaluable in terms of religious input.
My question to all is where are the women and why is religion mostly for men.

Woman power
A few quick remarks.
I have known many people working under leadership that in terms of IQ was inferior to the employee. Leadership is related more to personality than IQ.
Many women have held position of power both inside and outside of the Church. Having said this let me say that the percentage of such women is far lower that I think it should be.
Personality seems to be the overriding factor in determinations of leadership.
The fact that most of the wealth of the world is owned by women seems to indicate that they refuse to accept leadership even when they could easily accept it.
Because the status quo is as it is, can we then infer that things are as they should be with men leading and women following. Generally.
As an aside, I did see something about the infallibility of the Pope. I hope this was a joke. Man is always fallible.
Regards
DL

Men

"Many things influence who we are and what we do. Statistics are interesting, but people are more interesting."
All is relevant.
Part of the reason for the post was to learn why when religion causes so many problems, sore women are not involved.
I think if more were we would not have near as many problems as we do. They provide sober 2nd thought and are naturally (I think) less violent than men.

Re: the 'transformational' leadership style
I guess that when the Big Crunch comes our politicians at the U. N. will be well advised to send their wives.
Perhaps the pope would be well advised to do the same.
