Women Have a Great Influence for Good

Women Have a Great Influence for Good
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings

"Too frequently, women underestimate their influence for good. Well could you follow the formula given by the Lord: 'Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God' (D&C 88:119)."In such a house will be found happy, smiling children who have been taught, by precept and example, the truth. In a Latter-day Saint home, children are not simply tolerated, but welcomed; not commanded, but encouraged; not driven, but guided; not neglected, but loved."

Thomas S. Monson,, "The Spirit of Relief Society, Ensign," May 1992, 101-102

Good Influence Great Have Women

Of course I agree with this, however taken on its' own merit it does sound as if we are saying that the good for women to do is in home or where women should be is in the home.

Women Have a Great Influence for Good Studies Doctrine Mormon

What is wrong with the women staying at home? If I were to get married I would want my wife staying at home raising our children if possible. I wouldn't want the school systems raising our children. I believe this would also give me more say so by discussing our childrens' problems and trying to find solutions for them. I just don't think that a man can fulfill the nurturing needs for the family that a women can. Or at least I cant.

This society trains us that it is oppressive to a women's rights to have her stuck at home. I don't really view it as stuck at home and would encourage a business profession if she liked.

The womens' right movement has been led by a bunch of man hating lesbians, and frankly I am sick of it.

I will agree that a womens movement should have happened, but not the one we got.

McKay your reponses are usually one sentence wonders and I would like more elaboration on why you disagree with the prophets on this?
