YW: "Why don't we get to do the things that the boys do?"

[MikeWaters]

In this case they were talking about high adventure and outdoors and camping.

What's the answer?

"You can, we just need to work on a plan."

"Because you're Mormon and female. Get used to it."

"Because that is how it is. Things will change eventually. Maybe for your children."

Answer: because we're still trying to live in your grandparents' world when girls didn't do those kinds of things.

seriously, I would push for answer #1 if that's really what the girls in your ward want to do. Good luck working with the YW leadership on that one though, although I'd bet most bishops would be supportive.

YW leadership is who brought it up to me.

That's good. See if you can help them make it happen then.
