Why is it everytime I see this thread's headline, I can only see "male pattern baldness" instead of "male courtship pattern"?

I don't mind that the men have the priesthood and I do not. What bothers me is when the men try to control women under the guise of "protection."
For example, in a past ward the men would gather informally each week to play basketball. When the women wanted to gather each week for aerobics, the priesthood got really nervous about "our safety." Suddenly there were all sorts of obstacles, like there needed to be a priesthood holder there, etc. But when the women wanted to meet to quilt under similar circumstances, there were no issues or concerns. Also in the same ward, when the women wanted to start a Relief Society book club, the bishop insisted that he approve every book. Books for a church club need approval? Fine. Why not trust the RS president to take care of that? Wouldn't that be her responsibility? Apparently her only power is to execute the decisions made by the priesthood for the women. |

I don't ask or even tell my Bishop if me and the guys in my neighborhood (who all happen to be in the same ward) hold a poker night or have a Thanksgiving football game or all go on a road trip to a BYU game. My interaction with my bishop extends to answering the TR questions every two years and saying "yes" to the question about paying a full tithe at the end of each year. Other than that, it's none of his business. Do women not interact with their Bishop on this same basis? |

If a bishop behaved in this fashion, I would organize the raunchiest clothing and toy party ever and make certain the bishop attended.

I was present at a lingerie party my sister-in-law threw. I was only 16 at the time. All I remember is this thong for men. The front had an elephant's trunk and ears. What self-respecting man would wear something so ridiculous? And what kind of woman would find it sexy?
