April Young-Bennett (April Young Bennett – Motivational Speaker, Author and Activist) was interviewed on the Mormon Land podcast this week. Here is a great quote from Exponent II’s very quotable blogger:
“Relief Society leaders don’t supervise us. If you look at the structure of the church, women aren’t in the hierarchy. A local Relief Society president reports to her male bishop, and he reports to his male stake president, and so on. Women of our general auxiliary leaders – no one really reports to them. They’re not part of the hierarchy.
…Women are doing excellent work, but they are all accountable only to men and never to women. That sets them up better to be essentially spokespeople for the brethren, as opposed to advocates for the women.”
