Again, the evasion is readily applicable to
feminist theology: «I can accept women as equals and co-workers in the public world, as long as my wife remains a traditional homemaker; I'll support the ERA, but I won't have to
change my own life style; it's all right
for women to become ministers, but my congregation will never
call one as pastor; it's OK
for a few women to come into our system, as long as their presence requires no major structural
changes.»
