Can I just say a word about unrighteous dominion?  This is probably the biggest problem women have against men. Forever ago, men decided since they were bigger and stronger than women they assumed they were smarter than them too.  All of that kind of went with the same male dominating territory.  They have lorded that privilege […]

| Conference Talks, Priesthood/Relief Society

I am going to take a wild guess that not many women have read Pres.
