Beck talk
Here it is.
http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/d...775-27,00.html Which parts do you think were offensive? She actually never really even tells women to stay at home. My analysis of the controversial parts: Quote:

What people might be missing was how she built up mothers and the importance of the role. My wife has been talking to other women, sisters friends, and this talk has come up a lot, some liked it and some didn't. She feels like it's the same issue with Mother's Day. Some great Mormon women have a guilt complex that's so large they can't enjoy Mother's Day because they have rabbit ears and look for something in the talks that shows they're not measuring up and then go into a pity party about it. That comes across calloused but it's not meant as an attack. Just an observation with a feeling of wanting to help the situation and help these mothers feel good about themselves while at the same time be able to acknowledge the importance of the role and examples of success. |

I'd be interested in a similarly detailed critique from Requiem.

As would I. I'm glad the text of the talks comes out so quickly nowadays. Makes it easier to debunk what people "thought" she said vs. what she actually did say.

No kidding. Now that I've seen her talk in print, I've realized that it was as bad or worse than people claimed.

Is it a problem in Mormonism that women don't do enough around the house? I doubt it.
Is it a problem that men don't help out enough around the house? I'd say so. Her major, controversial points could only cause harm, and they don't address a real problem. I think she had no idea that the things she was saying would be controversial. I think she's been in a bubble far too long. |

Responding with "Link?" when someone expresses an opinion has got to be one of the stupidest responses possible. Please.
