    It   is   helpful  to  consider  and  talk  about  the
possibility  that people who  oppose  ordaining/installing
women  in  positions  of authority and  power---do  so  to
protect macho male collusions which pretend that  in  some
important  way males are superior to females when it comes
to having power,  authority,  and the possibility of being
in control.

Such  powerful  men  often oppose even talking  about  the
above mentioned possibility---lest the outcome of the talk
be the development of  a  consensus that a macho collusion
is  not  only  possible,  but is in fact a reality.    The
ultimate  concern of participants in  collusive  games  of
mutual  self  deception is to protect  the  dishonesty  of
their games---perhaps  by  making key assertions appear to
be of  divine origin.   Thus if there is a collusion it is
to be expected that the most powerful beneficiaries of the
collusion  will most vigorously oppose discussion  of  the
possibility  that  there  is a collusion of  a  particular
kind.

    Women  in  positions of authority and power  would  in
many   instances  undermine  the  macho  male   collusion,
undermine  the  exercise of power  in  support  of  sexual
discrimination  and  undermine the  carefully  constructed
system by which the  dishonesty  which  is inherent in the
collusion is concealed.   That is  not thinkable and it is
not  discussible!    Curses upon anybody who  thinks  such
thoughts and/or talks about such thoughts.   Such behavior
cannot be tolerated.    People who engage in such behavior
must be excommunicated to defend our collusive faith.

    The  above  considerations  suggest  why  many  people
oppose any thoughts and discussion of the possibility that
God might be a  woman.   How are men to relate to God as a
female?  With God as the supreme authority, it seems right
and  proper  that God be a macho male---at least  to macho
males it seem right and proper.

    If God is a Supreme Female,  then how are macho  males
to  regard themselves in light  of their patterns of abuse
of powerless females?  That is a sobering thought which we
better not think about or talk about; lest macho males get
wind of our thoughts and conversations!   There are limits
to   what  macho  males  will  tolerate.     Freedoms   of
communication  should stay in the Bill of Rights,  and not
bother us in our day to day lives.

    Come to think of it,  how would macho  males'   sexual
visions,  fantasies,  and behaviors change; were  they  to
consider themselves to always be in the presence of  a God
who is a Supreme Female,  rather than in the presence of a
God who is a Supreme Male,   perhaps a Supreme Macho Male?
Oh, is that an unfair question?
