Based on what we know, a resounding yes to both.
Even today, the church still subordinates women as second class citizens. They are still treated as property first by their husbands, and second, by the church itself. It isn't only the FLDS that does this. So does the LDS, but without so much fanfare.
Yes, men are [s]exploited too. But not in the same vein.
Keep making those babies, support the church at all costs, and wait on eternity for your [ultimate] reward.
"IMO, JS was a sex addict who used his charm to get into the "panties" of young women behind his first wife Emma's back, because he created the religion as a cover to exploit women sexually.
The present Mormon religion retains its origin as a sex cult starting with JS's womanizing and followers/successors' practice of pre-manifesto polygamy.
My theory: this is due to the socio-cultural and -psychological pressure to marry at a young age to begin sexual relations "immediately" within the legally recognized (and 'morally sanctioned' in LDS cult leaders' attitude) boundaries of a traditional marriage before childbearing become part of their young married lives (either start bearing "now" or postpone until higher education and/or ascension of socioeconomic status is attained so they can afford bearing children without burden).
An example that clearly demonstrates the Mormon Church's pressure beseeching young married people to forthwith bear children regardless of their accomplishment in education and socioeconomic status can be found in a 1987 sermon "To the Mothers of Zion."
I know some young Mo people want to get married in the temple so they can start having sex without shame and guilt, like my younger sister who got married at 19 to a RM [returned missionary] man whom she met a couple quarters back.
Young men opt to serve on the mission with two primary goals in mind: honorable reputation as "servant for the Lord" and, depending on personality and attitude, exponentially improve the chance of dating and getting married to TBM [True Believing Mormon] women at the temple in the short time possible so they can get laid with the leaders' blessings to reap the benefits of a sociologically indispensable stature in prestige.
For the LDS Cult leaders, two things are prerequisite to complete mind control by obedience.
1) Control the single Mormon faithfuls by psychological pressure that marriage is preferable to solitary or single life, and;
2) Control the married Mormon faithfuls by the burden of "frequent" childbearing that keep them preoccupied for life until at least the middle age. Of course, top that with "culturally mandatory" tithes and unpaid volunteer services (bishopric, etc).
Is it any wonder why the normal society look down on fundamentalist LDS sects as perverted and immoral, because older men control girls and women by power and, most egregiously, medieval sexual improprieties to molest and impregnate the younger victims?
The whole travesty lies with JS who created the religion partially to exploit girls and women under the cover of divine guidance to fuel his desire for the pleasure of sexual indulgence with multiple flavors."
