    lilscorpie got a reaction from JohnsonJones in The Glory of Men is the Woman   
    This isnt the 50s and as a disabled woman who cannot have kids, it is not my responsibility to help other people in my family raise their kids. I did not have them. They did. 
    I'm not talking about 3rd world countries. I am talking about my own personal experience.

    What I intended to say was that, just because a woman is infertile and cannot bear children does not mean that she should be required to sit at home all day and expected to help care for other peoples children. Being infertile does not give anyone else the right to demand that the woman stay home all day and care for other peoples children. It does not mean that she does not care for her brothers and sisters in the church. It just means that she shouldnt be constantly reminded of that which she cannot ever have. 
    IF she wants to care for other peoples children, that is fine. BUT it should not automatically be expected of her.

    What about the man. Why is it so bad that he works part time, or stays at home with the kids until they're old enough that he can reenter the workforce.  
     
    Why does all your options only involve the woman

    Not everyone, for whatever reason, will get the opportunity to marry or have children in this lifetime. If a woman wants to work outside the home, she should have that right. It is not fair for someone who cannot bear children to be forced to sit at home all day doing nothing, and being made to feel less than because she is not a mother and has decided to work. Just as there is no shame in a man deciding to be a stay at home dad.

    You must belong to a different church than I do.
    In your mind it might be, but not everyone in the church would agree with you.
     
    Sorry. That is simply not true.
    The intent was to seek out how they could work it out making to that both partners were equal and one. So, in making it equal and one, it appears that you'd decide that the wife has to give up something. How is that equal? In the perfect Mormon world, she'd not even consider pursuing a career in that direction but instead pursue a career in being a housewife and stay at home mom. But that isn't what she wants to do. Do you, as a husband support her or squash her dreams and insist that she do the "right thing".

    I disagree with this completely.  I have an entire society of grandparents that prove this wrong.
    What I gathered from your post is that you put your hat of respect on the woman having no opportunities for a career.  This is the biggest error of the Feminist Movement - the idea that full-time Motherhood is not respectable.  The idea that "unless I can do what a man can do we're not equal".  Societal traditions in the old days was structured around the lack of technology and opportunities that women have today.  In the olden days, women stay home when they have their periods.  They didn't have the privilege of tampons.  My mother grew up in the 40's and monthly sanitation consisted of something akin to a ginormous cloth diaper.  Women stay home when they were pregnant.  They didn't have the privilege of ultrasounds and high-tech medical facilities.  Women stayed home until the baby is weaned from breastmilk.  Feeding babies off formula, gerber, and baby bottles was not a thing.  And because women were having to stay home so much, then they do the home things - maintaining a well-organized, clean, and peaceful home while men bust their bums at the factories - and organizing societal things - like community service.  These were things women took pride in - the organization of their homes and societies, the discipline of their children, etc. etc.  They had a very vital role in life, equally (if not more so) than the factory.
    Human progress have led to men inventing things so women get all this opportunity to not stay in the house.  They don't need to anymore.  Even when they have periods, get pregnant, have kids to care for.  So now women are clamoring for "equality".  They want to be CEOs and Scientists and Presidents... do they clamor to clean ditches and collect trash and work heavy machinery?  No.  Because that's just not what women like to do.  Women like the same things they liked when they were staying home more often - care services, organization services, management.  But now, they don't want to do it for their own homes - they want to do it outside the home.  Which means - their vital importance in society - that of Motherhood, managing children house and home - is left for other people to do.  So now they complain that men aren't doing Motherhood even as men are still cleaning ditches and collecting trash that women don't like doing.  But the craziness of all this is that Women also believe Men staying home to do the "Motherhood" job is also unrespectable.  Women - even Career Women - want to marry Men who make a lot of money - even more than they make.  So now, the responsibility of raising children is left like a hot potato with no takers.
    So no.  Just because there are lesser opportunities for women to be Career Woman back in the day doesn't mean they were disrespected.  They held a vital role in society that they are ditching today.  Personally, I believe Women ditching the vital and very satisfying role of Mother and putting such as an unrespectable choice has caused great damage to today's society.

    If BYU wants to continue to host this event as they have done for years, they have to abide by the rules of the Dance Council.  Whether they may agree with it or not.
