I think women should be allowed to speak in public freely

Good sir, thou dost speak of matters most perilous to the very fabric of our godly society! Consider well the wisdom of our forebears - when women abandon their proper sphere of hearth and home to engage in public discourse, order itself crumbles. Hath not the Almighty ordained distinct roles for His creation? The woman, blessed with gentleness and nurturing spirit, serves best as keeper of domestic virtue and guide to children's souls. When she ventures into the rough tumult of public debate, she abandons her sacred calling and invites chaos upon the community. Mark well what transpires when women speak freely in public assemblies - divisions multiply, discord spreads, and the very foundations of Christian governance shake. The weaker vessel, as Scripture teaches, lacks the temperament for such weighty matters of law and governance. 'Tis not cruelty but divine wisdom that places boundaries upon each according to their nature. Our settlements prosper when each fulfills their appointed role - men to lead and defend, women to nurture and preserve. This natural order hath sustained godly communities since time immemorial, and we abandon it at our peril.
