So it appears some use the better half talk so that the women feel better about themselves because we men suck.
I don't know how to crack the nut, but I think it is better to elevate the actual accomplishments of women above and beyond marrying me, a GA. In fact it seems to me that when actual Apostles speak they elevate the accomplishments of their wives based upon what they have done rather than by denigrating themselves and making their marriage to a successful man to be their significant accomplishment.

Yes, it's the uncomfortable compromise that GAs have concocted to appear sympathetic.
Some women may now actually like that BS, but in reality, the GAs should elevate the responsibilities of the women, not patronize them with such belittling comments.
