     The woman who goes skinny-dipping for charity and posts the pictures on social media is far removed from the cultural archetype of the meek and stuffy vicar. “I don’t know who these stuffy vicars are,” says Bottley. “All my vicar friends watch The Traitors and shout at their kids and have sex – all the normal things that are part of being a human being. Like the rest of society, we’ve moved on quite a lot.”

     This is exactly what I expect from a female “vicar”.

     Religious leaders need to be there to tell us that the obvious, unpopular, and realistic is more important than social approval.
     
     Women are ill-suited to this role, like leadership.

     @amerika @lain Women are far better suited for secular leadership roles than religious leadership roles, probably for the reasons you mentioned here.
     
     In a democracy, what is popular has to carry some weight.
