How many women will speak at GC this time?

O: Like the number of women who gave the invocation or benediction during sacrament meeting between the late 60s and late 70s.

1: If they don't have at least 1, the feminists will go nuts.

2: 1 from the RS and 1 from the Primary or YW.

3: I'm feeling my oats. RS, YW, and Primary.

4: Almost as likely as a human sacrifice being carried out with a fire pit on the stand of the Conference Center, but I have had the truth of it confirmed to me.

How many of the 5th Quorum of the Seventy will talk?

Like I'm even certain how many of them are women!

I really HATE the molly mormon sing-song voice that almost every woman who speaks in GC uses. Instant zone-out for me.

I love it when women speak at General Conference. It's always nice to hear about the faith of young women in 3rd world countries.

Him.

Wake me when Truman Madsen speaks, or somebody else.

Amen to that.

I always go to the bathroom when a woman speaks, just to get my wife all riled up.

It's interesting. For sacrament mtg, it's approximately 50% female. Stake conference goes down to 20% female. And then GC goes down to 10% female.

If we are lucky and the trend holds, in the Celestial Kingdom, the talks will be 0% female.

I'm glad I'm not a woman. I probably would have apostasized by now if I was.

I'll join the chorus of those who don't like the sing-song voice.

I miss Sister Okazaki. She was an out of the box thinker and occasionally spoke against Mormon cultural conformity for its own sake. That whole RS presidency, Jack, Okazaki, and Parkin was fairly dynamic. They weren't Eliza R. Snow dynamic, but still...
