Mormon Feminism is Back (and its Name is Still "Apostasy.")

Cue the John Williams score...

Do not take my name in vain.

The Church will continue to bleed out and lose such women unless it accommodates. Your approach is sure to drive many out. Is that what you want? Is that what the leaders want?

I'm sure Droopy would love it if the Joanna Brooks type Mormons just resigned. The problem the church faces is men are leaving/going inactive and just not buying the myth at a higher rate than women. When the man leaves but the woman stays, the tithing goes away for that family, unless the woman has her own source of income. The role of women is to raise righteous children, creating the next generation of tithe payers, but young people are leaving the church in droves, despite being raised by faithful TBM women. The strongest demographic the church has right now is women, and if they start driving out the Joanna Brooks types, who probably pay their own tithing, what are they left with? Valiant stay at home moms, with inactive husbands, inactive or apathetic kids, and no tithing coming in.

Excellent point, I hadn't considered that.

Bumping for Droopy

[_Droopy]

My oldest has 30 year old friends who all cringe at the misogynistic patriarchy of the Church (past and still present).

Until you come to your senses and are willing to engage these issues in an intellectually serious manner and with some degree of conceptual proportion and balance, I see no real further need to discuss these and other issues with either you or most others here.

"Misogynistic?" This characterization of the Church's historic doctrinal understanding of woman, womanhood, and her unique contribution to the human condition has crossed well beyond the borders of pathetic and into the regions of the deranged.

No further serious discourse with you is possible. I've taken a break for this board for a week or so and let my last posts simmer a bit, but in looking at the responses to this particular thread today, What do I see?

Buffalo, Nomomo, Paul, a snarky troll by the name of Boyd K. Packer and L. Tom Perry, DarkHelmet, and Little Lulu; a savory smattering of the core anonymous trolls, snarks, bigots, intellectual fraudsters, and permanent adolescents on this board who post with any frequency have offered there own little serving of intellectual vacuity and leftist anti-Mormon (and anti-conservative, antinomian, countercultureal) smarm to the proceedings. I see no philosophically serious responses to my OP.

None.



Have a nice time in the Great and Spacious Echo Chamber.

I'll be by now and then to tie some shoelaces together and, in general, toiletpapar the house, but otherwise, enjoy criticizing, bashing, and vomiting on the church amongst yourselves.

Oh, and your denigration, trivializing, and devaluing of motherhood, childrearing, family, home, and parenting qua parenting in relation to the high holy calling of career, accumulation of material things, and the consuming of those things upon the the very core and center of all things - the radically free, autonomous, self absorbed "I" is well noted.

Mormon feminism's name is Apostacy, I think.

I agree that you got quite a few vapid and non-serious responses, but if you were interested in thoughtful and considerate responses, then I'm not sure why you ignored mine.

I should guess that he has you on ignore. It is not difficult to guess why. Why not try to take it as a compliment?

I am quite sorry for Droopy nowadays. He has to post somewhere or else just talk to himself, and this is the only place he is tolerated. But when he does give us one of his admittedly repetitive slabs of thesaurus-searching, which must take him a good while to compose, all that mostly happens is that people tease him.

And of the few people who are sometimes kind enough to respond to him reasonably, he apparently can't bear to read at least one.

I wish MAD would let him back in.

Don't you just love how the only person who thinks Droopy's rants are in any sense, "intellectual," is Droopy?
