Welcome to the LCD Forum, and thanks for sharing! I was in the LCs in the 70s & 80s (when I was 18 - 32), and wasn't so aware of the sexism thing. Of course, I grew-up in a somewhat backward, mid-western family who was inherently a little sexist, racist, etc. Therefore it just may not have been on my radar as much - these days there is also such a heightened awareness of such things! Also, some of those things might not have been so prevalent in the LC localities we were in (Berkeley and Ohio churches).

However, these frequent discussions regarding church kid experiences, that are frequently brought up on here, is causing me to wonder how my kids saw all that! I think I will ask them at some point . . .
