Thanks for making these valid points.
There's also the fact that too many women aid & abet #SexualAbuse committed by men in one way or another.
I'm appalled by how many #UUwomen, including female #UUAclergy & #UUAleaders, are complicit in #UUA cover-up & denial of #ClergySexAbuse.

Square graphic with a deep teal background and subtle swirling, star-like speckles. Center is a large flaming chalice shape formed entirely from a word cloud of names. in white text in varying sizes and orientations. Curving along the left side of the chalice in large, warm gold text is the phrase “Because of them,” following the contour of the shape. To the right of the chalice, also in gold, are the words “We Are.” At the bottom center of the image, in gold text, it reads “UU Women in History,” with “http://UUA.ORG ” in smaller text beneath it. In the lower right corner, there is a simple line drawing in teal of three overlapping human figures, suggesting community and connection.
In March, we asked: Who is a woman in UU history who inspires you?
Thank you for the names you shared. This word cloud reflects your responses—just a glimpse, not an exhaustive list.
Because of them, we are. 💛
#UUWomen #UnitarianUniversalist #UUHistory
Most of the #UUwomen I know of do not "advocate for these men", although some have done so. . .
Most maintain #ComplicitSilence, however too many actively help to conceal #UU #ClergySexualMisconduct in one way or another.
Even the few critics choose not to publicly condemn #UUA cover-up efforts.
Sadly, in my three decades worth of experience & observation of how #UnitarianUniversalists respond to #ClergySexualMisconduct that includes #ChildSexAbuse, the overwhelming response of not only #UUA leaders, but most U*Us including most #UUwomen, is to minimize #ClergySexAbuse & try to conceal it.
I'm appalled by how many Unitarian Universalist women not only do nothing to oppose #UnitarianUniversalist #ClergySexualMisconduct that harms women & girls, but actively participate in #UUA minimization, cover-up, & denial of #ClergySexAbuse that includes #ChildSexAbuse.

Most #UnitarianUniversalists, including the vast majority of #UnitarianUniversalist women, are silent about #ClergySexualMisconduct aka #ClergySexAbuse that includes child rape.
Many #UUs, inc. #UUwomen, actively try to silence #ClergyAbuse critics & #whistleblowers.

If #UnitarianUniversalism is 60% boomer lesbians, what explains #UU #BoomerLesbians, and other #UUwomen, not only turning blind eyes to #UUA #ClergySexualMisconduct that affects 100s of women, but even actively helping #UUism to conceal #ClergySexAbuse?
