Love it! 
Surprise, surprise, there is no divine mandate for the Church to discuss and portray its history accurately.

Women are some of the best speakers in General Conference. I wouldn't mind hearing them pray at all. However, the invocations and benedictions seem to be reserved for recently released General Authorities. I don't think that the Church implies any disrespect toward women in this regard.
I make an end of my writing upon these plates, which writing has been small; and to the reader I bid farewell, hoping that many of my brethren may read my words. Brethren, adieu.

Considering the breaking development, let us rejoice! With chocolate. And cupcakes. And jello. Oh, the joys of Mormonism.

From times and seasons Kicking up a fuss
The reaction that some Mormons have had to both the pants protests and now to the Ordain Women website have been... enlightening.

Hope you enjoy my comment.

Re: OrdainWomen.org
While I think ordination of women is a fantastic idea, I also feel that this step is too early.
Simply put, while the change is long overdue, you can't go from wearing pants to praying in conference to ordination. I think there need to be a few intermediate steps between 'pray in GC' and 'ordain women'.

I should highlight another reaction over there.

Yeah, Elohim is probably going to need a few more decades to get used to the idea of equality.
