I don't understand the disparate treatment, but that's how it is, and we shall deal with it.

The treatment should be equal, if we believe in equal treatment under the law. I don't see a rational basis for disaparate legal treatment.

With authority comes greater responsability and more severe consequences. Unrighteous dominion cannot be tolerated in the least degree.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith. |

But the thing is, there is not equal treatment between men and women in the church. Women have influence, but no authority in the church. As long as that is so, the consequences are going to be different for the same wrong doing.

I do not know "women" who honor the priesthood in giving deference to whatever the man wants. Perhaps some backwoods women do in Utah or Idaho, but I doubt that. No, women lack the final stamp of approval but general call the shots. Each has dominion over one's own body. (Now I'm speaking of rape but consensual actions).

They do have authority ... simply because it is a different authority does not mean it is less authority.

What authority is that? We get to decide what to do for Sharing Time? We plan the ward potluck? We are help mates. We have the supporting role. I'm not complaining. That's just how it is.

This sounds like an argument about who gets to sign the checks when both parties also have credit cards.
