You know, sometimes I can't help but feel that you look for opportunities and excuses to get offended. And sometimes your determination to do so interferes with any further reasoning. I've pointed out several reasons for not interpreting things in the light you are, and you still strive to find some other little thing to justify remaining annoyed. I don't say this to be rude, and I'm not feeling defensive or sensitive right now, but sometimes I just am at a loss at how to get you to even address some things. I know you're willing to drop it, but I pointed out there are men in the auxiliary organizations, that it has nothing to do with inferiority of the person, but of the non-priesthood nature of the organization they are supporting. I explained the reasons why priesthood is difficult to interpret as a power-grabbing/clinging opportunity, etc. And that's fine that you called the article a puff piece because I know that's exactly what it is. It's not empirical, it's anecdotal, a woman sharing her opinion of why she doesn't feel any less than her husband even though her husband was the most prominent figure in our church. It's this sort of personal story/emotional reasoning that usually resonates with politically correct folks, but not when it counters their perspective I guess.

Forgive me. I feel like the phrasing sounds harsh and antagonistic, but I really am intending it to sound more observational. Sorry.
