That doesn't excuse those who try to make others feel guilty about these things. That's wrong too. But it doesn't mean the church is coercing them or institutionalizing the guilt. No one will (or ought to) be denied a church calling, or a temple recommend, or be told to stop taking the sacrament because they see R-rated films or wear 2 earrings in one ear. Ditto mothers working outside the home. They will instead be counseled to avoid it, and then it's up to the individual to decide how it applies to them.

It's difficult to navigate being an adult, LDS woman and pursuing non-family goals. For a variety of reasons, many of them related to the culture. It's also difficult to be an adult, LDS woman pursuing family goals. For different reaons, but again, many are related to the culture. Both of these circumstances are unique to women and deserve thoughtful consideration. I agree with Mike that much of this is stating the obvious, but that doesn't prevent some from insisting that it's nothing. |

That said, I don't think the church has institutionalized that judgmentalism (as some have suggested), nor do I think it should apologize for what doctrine it sets forth on the matter.
