Vatican Council on Women Would Be Funny Were it Not So Insulting

By Mary E. Hunt

…Add to that a little chat about the relative moral merits of birth control pills and Viagra and I suspect the subject would change in a hurry. More troubling is what might be the best section of the paper on aggression toward women. Even in this part of the text, there is no clear analysis of kyriarchal structures that create the conditions of women’s servitude. Rather, there is victim blaming: Women cowed by depression…who accept a level of presu…
