Mormon Women Have a Question

So I guess everyone knows that now the Mormon missionaries are now younger. Announced not too long ago young men at age 18 can serve a mission and young women at age 19 can as well. For some reason however, women are still going at a later age. The NY Times reports always seem to include a female missionary who is around her mid-twenties. This article the subject of my blog today is no different. I find the article compelling because aside from the usual reporting that seems to take a balanced view of the LDS church with some insults thrown in to boot, and was not coy about doing it yet again, this time bringing to light why the church hasn't yet cow-toed to the liberal feminist demands of women first.

Equality Is Not Enough

While pondering my current job situation, I realize that I have been thrust into a position in which I am required to hit the ground running, and though it is always what I wanted because such positions promise ample benefits, it is tough to keep up and I am left wondering if I am in over my head. Having done a small amount of research into the predicament in which I find myself, I came across an interesting article which for some reason has bolstered my resolve and reduced the pressure I feel to succeed.  This article of course illustrates precisely, one of the issues I see with our current workforce, and I get to blame it all on one of the ideologies I dislike.  The title is a little misleading because it is written by a feminist author who seems to think that more feminism is the answer. I disagree particularly where families are concerned, but also when it comes to the workforce because let’s face it, exaggerated self-aggrandizement and selfishness is not the answer because as this article shows it breeds entitlement.  

The Continual Push to Promote Homosexuality

So the hot topic of the week is also about newly revived gay rights and how even though gay marriage is becoming legal in more and more states including my own, it still isn't enough. Why? Because religions must be compelled to for now, allow it. The next step of course will be to celebrate it, or will it? I've always said that by allowing gay marriage it would not be enough for the LGBT community, eventually they will want all organizations, groups, and individuals to embrace it. This article says it all. 

Why is Sexual Assault Any Different From Any Other Crime?

Something I’ll never understand about why this type of crime is so special that even when someone is found innocent (or not guilty which still means just that, not guilty), the smear campaign continues in order to keep up the perpetual victim mentality of those who accuse because after all, women never lie right? 

Pornography & A Hidden Double Standard

Pornography is bad in all its forms, and while there are many facts and myths about the prevalence of pornography and its effects on society, here I'd just like to address one in particular that has been giving me cause for concern. More posts will come later, touching on other problems, facts, stories, and misconceptions.

Is My Not Being Married My Fault?

Being single at my age and told that I need to get married, I often self-reflect a little as to how I came to this point in my life and if marriage is something I really want and why I haven’t taken the plunge just yet.

This is my Blog

I have come to the realization that blogging takes a lot of work, if you want to be taken seriously at least. There are many who blog but it is for their personal amusement rather than to garner attention and hopefully begin a career as a journalist.
