Thank you, women who work II Thank you, women who work In this way you make an indispensable contribution to the growth of a culture which unites reason and feeling, to a model of life ever open to the sense of “mystery”     Letter to Women, Message of His Holiness     POPE JOHN PAUL II, July 10 Thank you, women who work because you are supposed to be the ones who rely on superstition, on faith, more than men Thank you, women who work because you need to rely on something, you’re the inferior sex, remember? rely on men, or rely on religion either way, we’ll make you dependent Thank you, women who work because that sense of mystery we attribute to you is really the sense of hopeless fear our religion instills on people who don’t want to think for themselves and turns people to us because they have no other choice Thank you, women who work with your influence we can get rid of this whole reason thing altogether Copyright Janet Kuypers.
