"Men, weÂre getting outdone by many of our mothers and wives.
It seems theyÂve got this nesting thing down pretty good. They nurture like they are on steroids, they foresee needs like oracles and their boundless energy with the small things that have big outcomes in our families belong in the Super Hero file.
It seems to me that a lot of women get it and a few of us guys do. In some homes, fathers are MIA."
------------
The message in our LDS culture that women are perfect or near-perfect and men are far, far below women in spirituality and righteousness is getting out of hand. Enough already. I don't see any core doctrine that supports the out-of-balance in the current culture that seems to virtually worship the righteousness of a woman, while putting down the qualities of men, or ignoring them.
Let's give credit to women where it is due, but don't leave out the qualities that men have that are good.
Other than that, great article.
