Emma didn't keep JS's male courtship pattern in check.

Well, I talk to my wife daily and she expresses her frustrations all the time and she's never opined that she felt like a 2nd class citizen. All I know is that the women in my family have all been very involved and empowered by their church membership and participation.

If you want to isolate your comments to single people being made to feel like 2nd class citizens in the church, I'd be more inclined to believe you, though that applies to men and women.

Didn't your coursework in leadership at West Point delve into great detail about the abuse of power? I would think that you of all people would be enlightened on this issue.

Yogi would call for a fastball up and in. And Sister Dew would take it in her balls like she always does. Interesting how she is able to get Deseret Book to publish her own books of drivel...

You have a lot of pent up aggression on this subject, perhaps if Sister Emma had your energy the entire sordid ordeal could have been avoided.

No kidding. Since when are Mormon women taught to be sexually alluring?

That lesson gets turned around to hateful, obnoxious and dismissive.

What you don't find fat by forty alluring?

I don't find forty alluring at all. See below:

Preferred partner age remains constant over age among adult men (Bradshaw, Bubier & Sullivan, 1994; Korthase & Trenholme, 1982; Silverthorne & Quinsey, 2000).

That's great for your wife as one of the few women still in shape. However a kegel won't do much for a gal with too many kilos in her ass. And by the way we have far too many fat assed men as well.
