Shut Up, Bitch
What a fun news story this is: A Sunday School teacher was fired because she is a woman. Apparently Reverend Timothy LaBouf (undoubtedly gay) is sticking to the first epistle to Timothy, which says, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." 1 Timothy 2:12
Poor gal, and she had been a teacher for 54 years!
Still it does remind me of one of my favorite Tiny Fey jokes ever:
Tina Fey: In her 130th day aboard the international space station, American astronaut Peggy Whitson said that her tastes have changed while in space, and she no longer wants the forty shrimp meals she brought along. Hey, Peggy? Do you want them to keep letting women be astronauts? Yeah? Shut up, and eat the shrimp!
So I am happy.
