14. Echhardt was mysogynist to the bone. I studied Meister Eckhardt in a graduate studies class.

It was in a Catholic college, Albertus Magnus, in New Haven CT. Our professor was the head of its Religion Department.

In Eckhardt's writing he proclaimed that women could not preach and that they should not have any say over men.

So, based on such mysogynism, I will not accept his pronouncements as something I, as a woman, should believe or follow. If he could not accept ME and my gender's opinions, screw him. Just another prelate of the almighty church, establishing their authority over women...

no dice, buddy...
