This is so perfect: "Patriarchy creates crises and then tries to sell itself as the solution to those crises." And then recruits women ambassadors to sell that message. It's so cruel and so cynical, and thank you for writing this!
Ahhhh I just read this piece on Carville and the Dems that you sent, and lol plus cry face. "Too many preachy females" !! Long live the preachy females, my dude.
I come from a tradition where women weren't allowed to preach. We have lost time to make up for.
I relate to this so deeply, thank you Lane for making this correlation to the Relief Society. What do they know of empowerment after all?
Something I read on another Substack talked about how women watched at the comments were deleted in real time on Instagram, until there were none. There goes your voice. You can have one, but not here.
Funny enough the social negus team claimed the disappearance was die to a “platform” glitch but the NYT queried Meta and they could confirm no such thing 🤔
Don’t worry the comments kept coming and are now over 16k 😅
Yes, the giving your time and money to spaces that see you as fully human !

TY! Ooof I guess if you buy into patriarchy you think being an ambassador is the only way to get any power 🙃
Funny how God sooooo needs humans to maintain his natural order of male over frmale for him, because without him, we wouldn’t.
Excellent piece, Lane. Sadly, it's not just the GOP, either, though with so many MAGA people and Christian fundamentalists in decision-making roles they are probably worse than the Democrats if we have to rank them.

I know I just can't believe sometimes what men think it's OK to say out loud (in TV no less)!

That's funny. Doesn't it go agains the Mormon ethos to lie? A platform glitch sounds like a likely story... To watch it in real time? I think not.
Apparently Meta agrees with you !
Sorry for typos whilst on the train--the church social *media team claimed the disappearance was due to a glitch.
And *yes to* giving your time and money to spaces that see you as fully human...!
Wow, I wouldn’t have correlated these two speeches, but I think you absolutely nailed it! 💯🫣
Thanks so much, Erika!
There is no logical reason for women, and the men who love them, to raise their hands to support and sustain LDS church leaders.
