...all under the direction of and with the permission of middle aged white men.
the truth hurts huh?
What? For agreeing with the guy that used to lead your church that actually advocated for women to get educated? Everyone should make their best effort to get the best education they can get. Some marriages don;t work out, some spouses get sick, some spouses get incapacitated or die. Get an education.
"Buh-bye? Buh-bye?" That's it?
I would have thought something a little more well thought-out would be appropriate like maybe "what ever".
Maybe you should work on getting an education so you can actually do something positive in the time you waste on these blogs. I am off to read another educational book...
Where you reading the same article as I was? It clearly states that we should learn new skills. This would probably require some minimal, if not extensive, education. I am a stay at home mother who has chosen to seek education. I am seeking my third degree. And yes, when for what ever reasons my husband is unable provide adequate financial substance, these "new skills and this education" come in quite handy. And by the way DaviD O all of my children go to church pristine, shirts ironed and hair curled and in bows. With, by the way, the help of my great husband who has chosen to broaden his mind and horizons as well and shoulder some of the responsibility of caring for someone and something besides himself, in a form of service and love. He feels that as much as I have supported him in his education and career choices, he supports me in mine, a stay at home mom.
Rushing to remarry for financial reasons can lead to disaster. It clouded the judgement of another person I know. The marriage lasted 9 months. I am not threatened by a home maker and neither am I threatened by an educated woman. Just know that things don't always turn out how we plan.
I grew up in the 1970s and remember hearing from Young Women leaders, Bishops, Stake leaders, and general authority leaders about the importance of a good education for both men AND women.
Almost all of the women in my neighborhood, whether members or not, have a degree. I'm sorry for the bad experiences out there. Please remember that there are both decent people and idiots in and out of the LDS church.
