I do want to add a female GA, namely Julie Blech for THE WORST GC TALK of all time for me:
http://lds.org/ensign/2007/11/mothers-who-know?lang=engThese statements really piss me off:
"Mothers who know desire to bear children. Whereas in many cultures in the world children are “becoming less valued,” in the culture of the gospel we still believe in having children."
No shit, Sherlock! Children are also prized in other cultures! Just look at the Duggars!
"Mothers who know honor sacred ordinances and covenants. I have visited sacrament meetings in some of the poorest places on the earth where mothers have dressed with great care in their Sunday best despite walking for miles on dusty streets and using worn-out public transportation. They bring daughters in clean and ironed dresses with hair brushed to perfection; their sons wear white shirts and ties and have missionary haircuts."
So only appearance counts?
" Another word for nurturing is homemaking. Homemaking includes cooking, washing clothes and dishes, and keeping an orderly home."
Gees, I've never found that in any thesaurus.
"These wise mothers who know are selective about their own activities and involvement to conserve their limited strength in order to maximize their influence where it matters most."
So we're the weaker sex, eh?
"Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods . . . . "
How can you do that when TSCC advocates having as many kids as possible??
What a fucking jerk!
