Okay, yeah. When I was a kid, I could see some big differences between men and women in Mormonism, and even when my mom got divorced, she was the Relief Society president at that point, and they released her because she was no longer married, and she didn’t have a husband. And that was appalling. It was just really, really sad. Because whether she had a husband or not, it didn’t affect the way that she viewed the church and who she was as a woman, and the way she served people. She taught me that we should see people for their character and not for their situation, the choices they made in the past or the present, things that will affect their future. And nowadays, I see that new revelation is coming in and new things are being implemented that are making women more equal to men, even in ordinances in the temple and in life.
So I still see lots of women who go to school, and then they meet somebody who they want to get married, and then they drop school and they only have a family, which is okay. It’s a choice. But I also, in my opinion, I worry because if something happens, like what happened to me, then they need to have a backup. And that’s why I want to have my degree because I want to have a backup in case, you know, something bad happens to me again. But there’re still things that need to be done, a lot of work that needs to be done to make women more equal to men in the church, but I feel like there has been some progress. And I feel like women are essential, because they are the ones who actually take the lead.
