The following is an excerpt from an interview between a member of the Strengthening the Members Committee and missionary rodent, shortly after she was taken into captivity How long have you been following us? My people first came to this planet in search of intelligent life in the hopes of opening trade negotiations, and seeking [...]
This guest post comes to us from Beatrice. In our society, we like to talk about the differences between men and women. It is the stuff upon which great novels and films are built. It can be used as a source of bonding with our same-sex peers “Oh, my husband does that too,” or it [...]
The following is by Katya’s friend Nocturne, who is gathering information for a paper she’s writing, as explained below. We’re hoping her questions will generate insightful reflections upon personal experience and lively discussion. If you would like to respond to her questions privately, we’d encourage you to send your answers to “info at zelophehadsdaughters dot [...]
This guest post comes to us from frequent ZD commenter and blogging veteran ECS. Much of the publicity surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent abortion decision has died down. The Court’s reasoning in Gonzales v. Carhart, however, deserves a closer look. Whether you believe a woman has a right to terminate her pregnancy is not [...]
(Since this issue came up several times in the comments on the feminist concerns poll, it seemed worth opening it up for discussion on its own thread.) Proud Daughter of Eve wrote: I have no problem with a man presiding in the home because someone has to be the head and if the mom is [...]
Sally raised this great question on Eve’s “Relief Society Goes Berserk” thread: I am teaching RS tomorrow on unity and have been thinking alot about what creates unity.

Jessawhy recently posed this excellent question: I’m wondering if there is any middle ground between being 100% behind anything that any living prophet has ever spoken, and rationalizing myself out of the church. How do you find the middle ground? How do you stay active without feeling like you’ve given your brain up to the [...]
6. If you were elected president of NOW, what three things about feminism would you try to change? And you can’t say its perception!
In case people aren’t completely burned out on the topic of feminism, I thought we’d continue with Mark IV’s questions. Here are the next two. 4. It is assumed that feminists value diversity. Why, then, is feminism in America almost exclusively espoused by well educated white women? Is this a coincidence, or is that fact [...]
OK, let’s try a couple more. (Sorry, Mark, in looking over these again, I realize I probaby should have paired your second question with your first.) 2. Does feminism have any built-in limitations or internal contradictions? If so, what are they? 3. We often (rightly) enumerate the ways in which women’s lives have improved as [...]
Near the end of Kiskilili’s recent post “Where Do Mormon Feminists Come From?” our frequent commentator and good friend Mark IV proposed a short list of questions he’d like to see feminists discuss. Here follows the first of those questions. I’m looking forward to reading what people have to say about the issues he raises. [...]
