The video below discusses a couple social media posts from the LDS Church. The first has received considerable attention as it is from the Church's communications department and is of a husband praising the fact that his wife had finished medical school and was pursuing a career as a doctor while he is still trying to figure out his life (and presumably raising the kids). Hopefully he will figure something out before his wife divorces him, because a high earning woman is not going to stick with someone like him forever.
The second post, from BYU-Idaho, was of a woman who had worked to put her husband through school, but decided to continue working even though they no longer needed her to do so and they had a couple of children.
The host is not only puzzled because it represents a shift from past teaching, but comes at a time when birth rates are reported to have again declined in the United States.
(Note: the host of this video speaks overly slow--I put it on 1.5X speed in the settings and that seemed to be fine).

Could be a knee-jerk reaction to the increasing rate of women leaving the church.
ReplyDeleteNot that this helps anything. If the feminists stay, men will keep leaving, along with the formerly devout women, and we just have the same problem as usual.
You may be correct. That may also be the reason for opening up Sunday School leadership positions to women.
