For the nth time, what about MEN's responsibility?

RantWoman has collected a couple items recently about women as pastors and the realities of men's sexuality http://blog.sojo.net/2010/09/17/women-in-ministry-following-christs-example/

The author writes about his male colleagues whose first question about a woman pastor is "Is she attractive?" RantWoman is amused by this evidence that such male pastors do not discriminate between women of the cloth and laity in this regard. RantWoman has to agree actually: good for the senior pastor for being upfront about the issue, but how come the guy writing about it never mentions male responsibility?

RantWoman is not familiar with any other items of this author's work; for all RantWoman knows maybe he has written whole volumes addressing RantWoman's concerns. Well, this author notes mention of the Association of Christian athletes and the observation that the disciples all complain when Christ empowers women. RantWoman would never mind thoughts from a male perspective about the dynamics of male status-seeking, including put-downs of "the Other."

On the other hand, for tips about how to handle sexual harassment, consider this item:

RantWoman meant to find an item on this blog about a woman of a different generation upbraiding the blogger because young men have trouble controlling themselves when women dress as if they have womanly features, but somehow RantWoman rather better likes this item for taking on the apostle Paul and articulating positive ways for men to support women's ministry.
