No matter that LDS women of the past missed out on current fashion, at least LDS young women in Utah no longer have to be turned away from their Junior Prom for wearing sleeveless dresses.

Elders can start to tie their arms to the pews when their Little Factories get overexcited due to shoulders, or at least borrow one of their wives' valium capsules. The Young Women can help each other by being on the lookout for the coveting elders.

It seems fairly common.
Although we should also recognize that many many men who are members of the LDS Church are honest and well-intentioned. It might be more appropriate to direct your ire/complaint specifically towards church policies, leadership, or cultural norms, not individual Mormon men.

That does them a disservice.

A good Mormon man might be called to be a bishop. Then he is told that he needs to interview teens and, when alone with a teen, ask about sex and masturbation. The Mormon scheme is what can make a good person do bad things.

Some years back, that would have been looked at as a perk of the job, now you are suggesting it is a gateway to mortal sin. I am guessing it is still looked at as a perk of the job, but the bishops must be more cautious with their questions so as not to be overly obvious.

I was actually wondering if this is still a policy of the LDS church. I guess it still is?
