I was LDS and I genuinely believe the LDS church leadership thinks its separate but equal gender roles policy that prohibits women leaders is empowering for women. I also believe that it’s hateful and discriminatory against women. Well meaning bad policies are still bad.
Put another way: if their policies focused on protecting women AND babies we would see radically different policy proposals. And we don’t. Cause *they do not prioritize women.* Especially *those* women.
I used to think bad people were clever. 2016 taught me a lot of bad people are just not smart. They can’t problem solve. They make dumb choices and won’t recognize they are the ones who touched the hot plate.
Insert why not both? Meme.
