What we can do is shed dumb cultural baggage that has nothing to do with the core of the message/gospel.
If we think there is a future where stake leadership meetings include zero females. Good luck to us.

The problem is people like my mother in law (whom I do love and have a good relationship with) who seemingly have little to no ability to distinguish between real doctrine and tradition. In that sense, we're not so different than the Catholics. She couldn't cite the location of a scripture to save her life but she's extremely well versed in the practice of LDS cultural tradition thinking it's all doctrine.
