I don't have much say in who my boss is. I vote but don't have much final say about who my elected officials are. But I can decide that I want to go to a church with black leadership so that my black son sees black men and women leading a community of white, black, asian, and hispanic people. And I can't imagine a situation where I'd go back to a church with "seperate but equal(?)" gender roles like the one that I was raised in.
