"Women are programmed to hold out for an RM, which doesn’t work if guys are quitting the church instead of going on missions."
So why can you program women, but not men? Why not just program men to stay in the church, if programming works.
Now for the real reason women like church - it better satisfies their biological roles.
For the survival of our species, women have been wired to bear and nurture children(yes there are exceptions). In doing so, they are vulnerable and need support from a man. Church supports them in pressuring a man to be the sole breadwinner while they have kids. More money, less work for her.
In addition, church shames men for any lust for other women, which better guarantees she gets his resources, for less effort, if the competition is eliminated. She can call on the bishop to punish her man should his thoughts stray (porn).
And men are naturally interested in sex, which is largely suppressed, and considered dirty.
Men generally prefer more physically active fun, but church is a lot of sitting - the same reason boys do less well in school.
Generally, men think more logically, and are more likely to smell BS. Of course, it is also easier to smell BS when you don't really like being there.
I've also got this theory that generally, women are less committed to her man, than vice versa, as most divorces are initiated by women. And as I mentioned, if husband gets out of line, call the bishop and get him straightened out. So use the church as enforcement, kind of like calling the cops in domestic disputes. So while men have the useless priesthood, women actually have much control.
So is the marriage about love, or about getting stuff (money, status), and is the bigger commitment to church?
And of course, as long as women control sex, they will have the ultimate power. Especially when in church where sex is so restricted.
On another forum, I read of an LDS guy who hadn't had sex for 18 years, and was reprimanded by his wife for looking down her blouse. Yet she was a RS president and all appeared well.
Women want the priesthood - most guys would gladly trade it for control over when they get sex.
