I do not feel second class. Christ never gave an example that women should be 'second class'. In fact, I would say 'class' is also a more modern concept created by human ego and revolving around worldly statuses like finance or authority.
See what JBH has said about men and women. See what I have said. If you don't like the description 'second class' how about the description, 'inferior' or 'lower status'. They all mean the same thing. If class is a modern concept then we need to use more appropriate ones. whatever you name it does not alter the fact that throughout society, women have always been regarded as inferior to men. Only in recent years has 'equality' become a meaningful word. Great strides have been made but there is still a long way to go. As I've said before, Muslim women have to walk along behind their men. That isn't 'Old Testament' it happens today. Why not apply to your local Catholic Church to enter training for the prisethood? You won't because you know the answer will be no even before you have started to explain why you think you would be good at that job. I'm sure an intelligent and articulate lady like you would make a great priest, we have them here in England in our Anglican Church, as well as Methodist ministers and equivalents. Not sure about the USA but it seems likely that you also have women in equivalent positions - but NOT, no way, never, ever, in the Catholic Church because women are 'simply incapable' of doing that job (in their male-only opinion).
It's good that you accept your complimentary role in society and I'm sure you are happy doing what your man wants you to do without him expecing you to have an opinion of your own. If you didn't you would no doubt be one of those feminist campaigners trying so hard to get the equality that common sense tells me should be the case. I fully support their efforts and have a number of friends in that movement here in the UK.
