“I was just re-reading an email that I got in early 2008 from an old friend who removed his friendship from me because of the women’s issue. It is obvious that his gender-related “authority” to demand obedience to his view and silence my opinion is a trump card that is almost impossible to give up without the grace of God. I am again reminded that the male trump card has harmed many relationships and separated friends.”

And I’ll bet he did this without even letting the church check his “male trump card” to see if it really did “qualify.” How sad to judge one’s friendship this way – I’m sure it was very hurtful.
