The Lord as a Role Model for Men and Women - By Ida Smith - An edited version of remarks delivered at the Brigham Young University Women’s Conference, 2 February 1980 - Used with permission of Brigham Young University Press.
from the article:
Is this doctrinal?Building upon the foundation laid by Joseph Smith, subsequent prophets taught that God was not single, but married; that there is a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother; and that we were made in their image: male and female children. (See James R. Clark, comp., Messages of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6 vols., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1965–75, 4:203, 205.)
CFR: whom, when and where did said/whispered this the Satan?But, as is true with most good things, Satan has devised a counterfeit to God’s plan for women. And as we have watched the growth of the “women’s movement” in the hands of the world, we have been aghast at some of the excesses and directions it has taken. Whereas God wants us to know that men and women are of equal value and importance, the devil—subtly changing the truth—would have us believe we are not different, but the same. The Lord’s way is for men and women to become “like” each other only as we each take upon ourselves the Savior’s universal traits; the devil’s way would be for us to become a unisex society. We must be careful not to confuse the phony with the real thing.
If men and women were the same - certain organs were the same and not complement of each other - then we all were objects of prop8.
You know, I wouldn't like it...
... and they had had access the priesthood itself...When the Prophet Joseph Smith organized the Relief Society after the pattern of the priesthood in 1842, he told the women that they were responsible for their own sins. For some this was a radical thought in those days. He taught them they were responsible for their own salvation, that they had access to every needed blessing the priesthood gives, that they also had direct access to the Holy Ghost and to spiritual gifts and they also had direct access to the Savior—to model him, become like him, be heirs in his kingdom. (See Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1938, pp. 223–229.)
For example there are three of them in the whole Book of Mormon. At this moment I remember only one, Isabel. Google may help.Some women complain that they have no strong role models in the scriptures. That is not true. We have many models there
For example in Matthew 1:1-16 (42 generations from Abraham to Christ) there are 42 men
and four women:
Thamar, Rachab and the wife of Urias (Bath-sheba, for beginners), who were ideals, weren't?
and Mary, who wasn't married with god when ... ehm ... you know
Please, educate me (You know, I am not a native English).Ida Smith, director of the Women’s Research Institute, Brigham Young University, is a Sunday School teacher in her Orem, Utah ward.

1. The Institute is owned by women
2. The Institute is working for women
3. The researchers are all women
4. The objects of the research are the physical and spiritual attributes and parameters of women (in all other area men and women are equal, as we know)
5. The Institute is looking for the risks and side effects of liaison with Satan
6. The director of the Institute is a woman, and there may be male underlings (I know, this were atrocious, heinous, monstrous, outrageous, scandalous, appalling, awful, dreadful, fearful, frightful, ghastly, horrendous, horrible, terrible, obscene, preposterous, ridiculous, unconscionable, unreasonable and unusual)
7. Other, take Your pick
