I am still on the fence about whether or not to commit to my project proposal that I discussed in class on Monday. Though I have been leaning towards researching women's roles (or lack thereof) in the Catholic church, I brought up the idea of examining the predominant lesbian culture in women's rugby, thinking that I would have better access to that subject. I think that women's rugby would be much easier to research given that I know many players personally and am a member of a team myself, but I do not know if my whole heart is in that project.
I have always had a strong interest in religion and spirituality, and even though I do not necessarily agree with everything that the Roman Catholic church teaches I feel that I have a deep connection to it because of how I was raised. Only after I stopped going to mass during college did I even take time to reflect and realize how the lack of women's roles as leaders in the church may have effected me. Not only is it archaic and extremely unfair to women who long to play serious roles in the church, I feel like exposing both young females and males to such strong patriarchic figures can misguide their development (like sexual, social and inquisitive skills).
I would like to narrow down this idea a little more and keep comparing my resources before I fully commit to a research subject. I would appreciate feedback!
