It reminds me of a time in my college ward when gender issues seemed to be the topic-du-jour. There was a Sac Mtg dedicated to this issue (looking back on things now, probably offered as a sort of peace offering) in which a few of the more outspoken women spoke on the role of women in the church. (The one quote I remember from the meeting was "I've decided to be patient with the Church. They'll catch up.") At the end of SS, a few of the women remained seated at the back, as Priesthood was held in the same room. They sat through the whole block.

They never did it again.

You just ain't missin much. "Stop looking at porn and beating up your families." There ya go.
Of course I can see the content myself within a few days when they publish it. I do typically read it later. That's beside the point. So long as they try to perpetuate the separate but equal doctrine, it would at least be nice to attempt some more equality in the separate bits. For example, why not have the priesthood and RS sessions together on one weekend, instead of just putting the RS session (only yearly, mind you, since otherwise they put the YW session, which is another inequity. . .) on a separate week. And if they televise one, why not the other?

I know I won't get much sympathy for my view here, but my point is these kinds of distinctions send a message, and it matters.
