"The church needs a new vocabulary, she said, for such positions as “mission presidents’ wives,” who play a vital role but have no unique title." Yeah, that'll fix everything. Just slap a few nice-sounding titles onto the usual second-class citizen roles.
"While young LDS men are setting up chairs, shoveling walks and other physical tasks, she said, 'young LDS women may be in danger of learning passive helplessness.'" Right. LDS women need to work harder than they already do.
From the comments by readers:
“we need a way to describe the female contribution to priesthood. We are a faith community of priests and priestesses. We need a way to talk about that.”
So it’s not the actual 2nd-class status that bothers you, just the vocabulary that’s used to describe your inferior position in your church?
[…] the women that don’t fit the “mold” will still stand up for the church is because they are promised that in the “after life” they will have a husband and a family. From where? The answer is a belief they don’t like to talk about much. They believe in polygamy in the after life. The polygamists and the modern day church have that In common. How sad a “fairy tail” that is.
