A woman referee, on Feb 2, 2008, was supposed to referee a game between St. Mary’s Academy, a private religious school that sits on a sprawling campus about 25 miles northwest of Topeka, and some other team.
But because she was a woman, they wouldn't allow her to do so.
Removal of woman referee by religious school has some crying foul
"That would be putting a woman in a position of authority over boys, he was told — a scenario that was contrary to beliefs at St. Mary’s Academy."
I thought that only happened with Muslims these days, not "Christians."
Yes, I'm sure adult males wouldn't want a woman in authority over them, but these religious types are saying that grown women musn't be given authority over boys?
My god I feel sorry for their mothers, and that's not a pun.
Women, even in the Western world, still have a long way to go for equality and respect.
