It is lamentable, however, IMO that there seems to be less room for disagreement than 150 years ago. But that's old hat and I don't lose any sleep over it (anymore).

But is it truly disagreement or rather an issue of I'm right and you're wrong? And what of the nature of disagreement -to what end does disagreement serve; what is the relevance?
We are talking about thousands verses millions in terms of membership. Woman are people in our current society whereas, according to world culture and society of the time, Woman were property. So much has changed. Why then do we not expect the disagreeing voice to change?
There is room for disagreement or rather what I would call opportunity ... within the context of todays church.
