Some of you may not believe that I have love or respect for the Mormon Feminists and their various viewpoints, but I actually do. Even though I don't agree with each specific view point (they vary within themselves), nor their practice, I want to see the good in their motives and feelings. These are ten reasons why I DO respect them and appreciate them being our sisters in the gospel.
1. They are daughters of our Heavenly Father.
2. We are all members of the same church that claims modern day revelation.
3. Many of these sisters are close friends, and if not mine, someone else's that are loved.
4. They bring things to light that are not normally brought up.
5. They are typically wicked smart (they could be me out anytime on Jeopardy, surely).
6. They are ambitious.
7. They generally are very respectful.
8. They take a lot of slack and still tread onward.
9. Ordain Women handled the rejection of admittance to the General Priesthood meeting with class.
10. They speak from the heart.
It's such a conflicted issue for many people, including myself. But this doesn't mean everyone can't have a sense of respect for each other. The Lord knows what He is doing and that's what we can have faith on.
