A Mormon Feminist Who Believes In Equality

A shout out to someone who actually makes an ounce of sense.  Never did I imagine that there would be an individual who I actually agree with who claims both the Mormon and Feminist label, but this individual actually makes a strong case in his written narrative. Too bad though he is still promoting a crooked movement.

What I agree with is that no person should ever feel marginalized, and he is also right when he says, "One of culture’s most serious mistakes is marginalization of many populations..." There are several other true statements he makes which left me feeling like he makes good points and is someone who is genuine. However, he is still a feminist and that is problematic because his solution to the problem is that we need to help only women and ignore the m marginalization of men, both individually and as a population.

Now I get it, the leaders are mostly male, but that doesn't mean I can't feel marginalized, or that my voice is heard because who says the leaders speak for me all the time? The leaders speak for Christ, who speaks for me, but then guess what, Christ also speaks for the women too because He is there for everyone, and women receive the gift of the Holy Ghost just like men, and they too are privileged to receive revelation and have spiritual gifts, the same as the men.

Unfortunately, I think what the MoFems focus on is too much the gender aspect of culture and how that is the only relatable aspect people have to one another.  Therefore because women aren't assuming half of all the leadership positions they're thoughts, opinions, feelings, and desires are automatically ignored and they as a group are marginalized, is an incorrect assumption.

Has our culture been hurtful to women? It's been hurtful to everyone in one way or another, but that is a perspective that changes from person to person because what is hurtful to one may not be to another. For example, not having the priesthood may be hurtful to some women, but not to others because they don't want the burden it places on the holder, and many men feel this burden and feel hurt by it, wishing they didn't have to carry it, while others are proud to bear it.

So Mr. Mormon Feminist, kudos to you for your efforts, however the answer is not feminism, just like the answer to Germany's overly harsh punishment at Versailles was not Nazism.  But good luck trying to change the perspective society has on feminists. You are backing the wrong horse and are in for a wild ride because feminists have already dug their own grave with their hateful and spiteful actions that have already and still do cause immense harm to families and society. It will also cause the same harm to the LDS church if we let it in because a pestilence is just that, a disease from which only suffering will come. 

And yes I did just compare feminism to a pestilence...
