10. A man’s place is in the army.
9. The pastoral duties of men who have children might distract them from the responsibility of being a parent.
8. The physique of men indicates that they are more suited to such tasks as chopping down trees and wrestling mountain lions. It would be “unnatural” for them to do ministerial tasks.
7. Man was created before woman, obviously as a prototype. Thus, they represent an experiment rather than the crowning achievement of creation.
6. Men are too emotional to be priests or pastors. Their conduct at football and basketball games demonstrates this.
5. Some men are handsome, and this will distract women worshipers.
4. Pastors need to nurture their congregations. But this is not a traditional male role. Throughout history, women have been recognized as not only more skilled than men at nurturing, but also more fervently attracted to it. This makes them the obvious choice for ordination.
3. Men are prone to violence. No really masculine man wants to settle disputes except by fighting about them. Thus they would be poor role models as well as dangerously unstable in positions of leadership.
2. The New Testament tells us that Jesus was betrayed by a man. His lack of faith and ensuing punishment remind us of the subordinated position that all men should take.
1. Men can still be involved in church activities, even without being ordained. They can sweep sidewalks, repair the church roof, and perhaps even lead the song service on Father’s Day. By confining themselves to such traditional male roles, they can still be vitally important in the life of the church.

PS 10 mycket vederhäftiga orsaker måste jag säga. Jag har svårt att förstå att varje man som påstår sig ha en prästkallelse tror att just prästvigning till varje pris skulle vara det enda sättet att tjäna Gud och kyrkan. Så är absolut inte fallet. Det finns oräkneliga andra sätt. Det kan inte nog understrykas hur också män är av oerhörd stor betydelse för kyrkans liv.
Till syvende och sist.
”Och Gud skapade människan till sin avbild, till Guds avbild skapade han henne, till man och kvinna skapade han dem. ”
Mer tydligt kan det väl knappast uttryckas till alla män som påstår sig vara ringaktade bara för att de inte kan bli präster. I Guds ögon har män exakt samma värde som kvinnor.
