She is Risen

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was 5 it never occurred to me that I couldn’t be whatever I wanted to be…

Poor deluded Catholic school girl that I was.

So when my kindergarten teacher asked us to draw what we wanted to to be when we grew up, I drew myself as a priest.

My teacher took me aside to explain the patriarchy of the one holy and apostolic Church.

And that, my friends, is when this feminist was born.

Happy Easter
