"I was being flippant.
Women spend their entire lives defending, justifying, being anodyne, every word offered has to be qualified and made palatable.
Often times, a black and white statement and a good chuckle is a relief.

"RR - it sounds as though the clergy project are protective of their community, understandably, and are cautious about to whom they provide support and a safe harbor. They have methods for validating clergy who contact them, and given they have…"
