SDA church doesn't believe in equality?

Many pieces have been written about the negative effects this women’s ordination debate is having on the church, and people’s personal lives. And I am here to add my voice. That day in 2015 when the church of my childhood, the church that is a part of my identity, the church I have loved and fought for and defended and criticized, the church that was a function of who I am as a person, the day my church decided officially that my authority and humanity isn’t equal with a man’s was the day I broke inside. I remember exactly where I was sitting. What I was doing. I remember the feel of the grass under my feet. The heat of the sun. The disbelief I felt as I watched the livestream and followed the Twitter feed. It was a personal blow. As if a part of myself was rejecting me. And every year after that as my equality and humanity is annually denied, it’s like ripping open a barely healing wound. Try to tell me there’s a moderate position to be taken here. I dare you. It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: Every day the church continues to deny the equality of women, is a day the church is doing damage to itself and the world.

Oh, c'mon.......I'm all for WO, but the above comes across to me as a whiney, poor-me, in-your-face type of attitude, and bespeaks of individuals who can't cope with real-life situations — which really does nothing to compel someone who is anti-WO (or undecided) to come over to the pro-WO side of the hornets' nest.

Wonder where the author of the article lives.  Where in the NAD are women actually being kept from being a pastor of a church?  Anywhere?  Maybe Michigan? 

The article sounds like she thinks that anti-WO people don't think women are equal to men?  I didn't know equality had anything to do with it.
