CMV: Religious institutions that don’t allow women to hold certain positions are misogynistic.

Hey guys first time posting and on mobile so please keep that in mind. 

This mostly comes from my experience with the Catholic Church but can technically apply to any religious institution that holds a similar position. There are a couple reasons why the Catholic Church doesn’t allow women to be priests, but the most common reasons given are that priests act in the image of Christ who was a man, and that Christ chose twelve apostles that were all men. Catholic theologians tend to argue that Christ’s choice of having only men for apostles was deliberate as he wasn’t one to submit to society’s rules and priestesses weren’t unusual at the time. As to specifically why the choice was made, that is left unanswered or is sometimes explained by metaphysical differences between the sexes. If we choose to disregard Christ’s decision of having only men as apostles given that we don’t know the actual reason/the reason cant be proven and we know Jesus had female disciples( not apostles ), then the only reason left for not allowing women to become priests is the fact that priests act in the image of Christ. This occurs during the giving of communion but again has no biological basis. The biology of Christ is not in play during that spiritual process. Therefore there is no biological/physical/provable basis for not allowing women to be priests. Barring women from holding certain positions or doing certain things on a nonbiological/provable basis is what makes institutions misogynistic. The only other example I can think of is Orthodox Jews not allowing female Rabbis. Overall what I’m saying is that there’s no physical proof for the reasons some religious institutions don’t allow women to hold certain positions. This lack of evidence means these institutions are just discriminating against women for being women.

Edit: Forgot about nuns, yes men can’t be nuns therefore I guess in the case of the Catholic Church it would by misogynistic and misandristic depending on the position. Maybe sexist in general might be a better term?

How do you want this view to be changed? Your view is pretty much a statement of fact.

The definition of "misogynistic" is "strongly prejudiced against women". If an institution puts men in positions of power over women, that is the very definition of misogyny. There's no way to argue that men having power over women is not misogynistic because that's what it means.
