The Burden of Womanhood in Mormonism

In this bonus episode, Bo and KD continue their discussion on Mormonism and women. They explore the cultural aspects of Mormonism as it relates to women, including the recitation of the Young Women's theme, the concept of exaltation, and the pressure on women to find a worthy husband. They also discuss the emphasis on modesty and the challenges of dressing in a way that is garment-appropriate. The conversation highlights the control and judgment that can arise from these cultural expectations.

Takeaways:

  • The pressure to find a worthy husband and the fear of not being able to achieve exaltation can create anxiety and control in Mormon women.
  • The emphasis on modesty and the requirement to wear garments can lead to judgment and policing of women's clothing choices.
  • In Mormonism, women are expected to prioritize having children, and infertility can be a source of judgment and unsolicited advice.
  • Leaving the Mormon church can be particularly difficult for women, as it is seen as breaking up the eternal family.
  • It is important to prioritize God above all else and recognize that being part of God's family is more important than the Mormon concept of an eternal family.
