Its International Women’s Day today.

We had an interesting presentation on the Scottish Episcopal Church’s recent Gender Audit at Diocesan Synod on Saturday. Immediately after the presentation by Elaine Cameron, a bunch of men jumped up and started saying that they didn’t believe in positive discrimination.

They did sound rather threatened and terribly anxious.

I wonder why.

It has broken out online too, with Father Kenny saying this and Mother Ruth retorting thus.

I’m not joining this debate right now, but I might in the future. Instead, I think my contribution today is going to be to point people to an old sermon I preached about Saucy Salome. You can hear and read it here.
