Never in my 21 years of being Mormon have I felt like I was less important than a man. Never.
These issues are in your head. You're upset because you can't hold the Priesthood or be a bishop? Really? Look back to when Christ was on the earth. Did he have female apostles? No.
Let's bring in something that Christ has said on the matter.
And he commanded them that there should be no contention
one with another, but that they should look forward with
one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts
knit together in unity and in love one towards another.
-Mosiah 18:21
And many more things did the people imagine up in their hearts,
which were foolish and vain; and they were much disturbed,
for Satan did stir them up to do iniquity continually;
yea, he did go about spreading rumors and contentions upon
all the face of the land, that he might harden the hearts
of the people against that which was good
and against that which should come.
-Helaman 16:22
Do you know what these scriptures mean? It means that Satan gets people to "imagine up in their hearts" issues that AREN'T THERE! Why? Because if he can get you to think, "Oh me! The Church is sexist!" then you'll do stupid crap like create "Wear Pants to Church" to create contention in the church.
If you really have an issue, go to Christ about it. Pray and ask if the church is sexist. Don't think He'll answer you? Then why be a member at all?
It's sad to me that you women who participated in this are trying to drag the church through the mud. If you don't like it, why be a part of it? If you believe the church is true--really truly believe it is true with all your heart--why are you getting caught up in this nonsense?
As much as I want to tell each of you how much of an idiot you are, I feel more sadness for you. You've allowed Satan to enter your heart and pride to take over.
But I know one thing. "Inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest. Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord. Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time."
That's what I know to be true. Not this nonsense about wearing pants to church. Try focusing on a real issue.
And just for a little humor,
