Actually, if men refused to be ordained priests or deacons, what do you think the hierarchy would then be forced to do?  Discrimination and hate gain their power from the people who support them indirectly by supplying the oppressors what is needed so they don't have to face their hatred and sin.  So truthfully, any man should think is it right to seek any form of ordination while his sister are being mistreated by our hierarchy.  Although, diaconate is a false model of justice unless it is for transitional deaconate and that is not what the pope is claiming to be studying.   So the conversation is really dishonest to begin with.  The AUSCP should be pushing for women to be ordained to priesthood since priests, not deacons, are what our church needs and this is the start toward equality for women as priests can rise to Bishop, Cardinal, and Pope, and we do not rise deacons to these levels.
