I'm glad I helped you feel better. The church is the one who should be asking for your forgiveness. The real question shouldn't be "why are Mormon women so complicit..?" It should be: "Why would a church treat it's daughters and mothers, wives and sisters this way?"

I know, I know, you're answering the question I SHOULD have asked. Thanks, David A. MoPag.

I didn't mean any negativity towards you. I really like your posts. You are always insightful and fair. And I think this was a topic we all needed to explore and vent about.

No worries at all - that's the challenge of online posting. I really thought what you said was funny in context, and I was hoping that the two laughy faces would show that. So we're all good. Self-depreciation doesn't play well on the interwebs.

But you are also bang on, I think the damage to women does go a lot deeper than how I put it, I've seen it in my own extended family as well.
