Women are treated like a secretary in the corporate boardroom.
She might be talked to politely, her feelings might be heard, and she might treated politely, but once decisions are made, she is outside with no input. There aren't any secretaries in the boardroom.

Didn't see any pants. And I'm in an area with a lot of strong women.

I would say the way I dress for work and the way I dress for church are fairly equivalent in terms of being "dressed up." I wear skirts and dresses to work all the time in the summer and predomintantly pants in the winter. Obviously, this is about the weather, especially because my commute includes walking and public transportation. And I feel my dress is relatively feminine regardless of whether or not I wear pants. Never at any time when I am dressing for work do I stop to think about how I'm going to show people I am equal to a man or how I hope people don't ask me to move furniture and the like if I wear pants. Why this doesn't translate in a Mormon ward is something that permeates the culture. . . In fact, I would say many women in skirts are often much less dressy than is appropriate for the reasons we ostensibly wear skirts, but somehow keeping the "skirt" aspect is enough. It's strange. I did not wear pants yesterday. I honestly didn't even think about it, and I don't recall anyone I saw wearing them. Our bishop does talk regularly, from the pulpit, about the boys wearing white shirts. It irritates me, and I've complained about it. I've been told that the motive is to prepare them for missions. Mmm-hmm. Ok. |

Almost none of the boys in my ward growing up wore white shirts. It was not part of our ward's culture. Yet myself and all the contemporary boys (save for one) went on missions.
It may be that testimony is more important than dress. |

Due to a baby blessing I attended two wards, one in the south end of Salt Lake county and the other in Davis county. Did not see one woman in pants, even though my wife were intently looking out of curiosity. Considering that other wards shared those buildings, which meant additional women were roaming the hallways, we saw at least 200 women but one one pair of slacks. Which raises the question, did women who normally wear slacks or dress suits make it a point not to yesterday?

This is an odd way to express rebellion. I'd simply bear my testimony of the truthfulness of equal treatment

The latest mock protest that I've caught wind of is adults eating Cheerios in Sacrament Meeting this Sunday. Something to do with children unfairly being given preferential treatment in scripture.
