Do you know a woman who is very capable in a given field?

Women have been known to "rise to the occasion" and fill many roles, usually by necessity. In the modern world, they are often the more responsible ones, getting good grades in school, going to college, developing promising careers.

(The public school system is designed for females -- men and women learn differently, so you can't have co-ed education without favoring one or the other. Well, as a matter of fact the public school system, as it exists today, favors the female mind. But I digress.)

As a result, countless men today have female boss(es) over them.

What should a good Traditional Catholic think about this?

It is not ideal for woman be in a position of power over men. That is not how God designed things. Having men be in positions of authority -- as an ideal -- is a part of the natural law, and hence Catholic culture.

Women can and do fill the void whenever men create one by their own degeneracy or negligence. But it's still a shame each and every time men DO leave a void.

Not saying anything bad about any individuals -- it's a question of tolerable, good, better, best.  It's a question of ideals and principles.

CathInfo is always trying to set the example, discussing things philosophically and establishing ideals, even while NOT condemning individuals alive today.

Remember the case of the SSPX school that forfeited a game because the opposing team had a female on it? It wasn't because the female was incapable or "good for nothing", or because they had something personally against her. It was because they couldn't -- on principle -- play full-contact sports against a female.

The best men always live by their principles. That is why they are admired.

Our Lord doesn't condemn to hell women who take the place of irresponsible men.  No, a woman cannot fill the place sufficiently, but it is better than nothing--or the State filling the role of parents and teachers.

An obvious Irish example is women and the pro-life movement. Several groups arrange workshops and seminars so women can become effective pro-life leaders. Niamh Ui Bhriain of the Life Institute is the 'Irish' Lila Rose.

Pro-life feminism is a word you hear often.

Johnnette Benkovic is quite popular. I don't watch EWTN but many traddies attend her 'Women of Grace' events in Ireland.

It's a very interesting topic.

I put my foot in it once when I told a girl the idea of a female theologian is silly. I was informed she has a degree in theology.

Capable women. Good womenfolk are quite rare.

Our society is disordered, and the Catholic Church post-Vatican II is no help at all, to put it kindly.

A key point. Ironically in the seminary in Maynooth, Ireland, you have more women studying theology than you have men studying to be novus ordo priests. And the theology they are getting is not even Catholic.

Girls, who attend the SSPX and in Tradition need to resist and not go to university or take these jobs.

A good summary of the Vatican II Church is Leanne Moore a  graduate from Mary Immaculate college (Sister of Mercy) in Limerick headlining the 'gαy Pride' parade a few years ago.

I agree with women having specific roles in society. I think some professions are better suited to women. For example, nurses, teachers in elementary school, etc. What irks me is seeing them in police or military uniform, side by side with men, as one example. But like I say at the end of most of my posts, what do you expect? These are the fruits of v2.
