seems so anyway.

and then they get jobs that limit time at home, limit time at church, and are extremely stressful.

I'm guessing it gets easier later?

Why you'd want to submit yourself to the will of some lame ass pencil pusher for the first ten years of your life after school makes perfect sense for the average mormon, I mean, who wants to reward themselves with a profession that allows you time at home?

Think about it, we love being told what to do by people wearing white shirts. We love heirarchy's and the perks of leadership once we get to the top. We love organizations dominated primarily by men.

You do, huh?

That's a pretty liberal "we" you're throwing around there.

Standard operating procedure for fus, though.

Johnny, why do so many Mormons like being customer reps in call service centers?

Wait, I thought we liked being accountants so we don't have to spend time at home or doing church callings and so we could obey men in white shirts and get leadership over people.

Simply look at the difference in activities, money, resources made available for men as apposed to woman.

It started in the beginning with the Masons and continues today:

Scouts/Girl Scouts
Boys Camps/Girls Camps
Priesthood Activities/Woman Activities
Priesthood Session/Relief Society Gathering

The men have more fraternities available to them than the woman sororities.....
