So...why is it that there are no corresponding "talks" in General Conference or a General Relief Society Broadcast that addresses the ills of womanhood?
How many of you have seen a bishop or stake president take on the women and issues that they are having? I really don't know if I can come up with an example where they have?
Anyone?

Because the vast majority of these talks are given by men who have a much better grip on the problems men create? Or maybe the "womens" issues are simply contained in other talks and presented in a gender neutral way because woman are less likely to respond well to being "taken to task" than men are, and are more likely to respond if they can "liken" it to themselves on their own.
