” how Mormon women feels inferior.”

Note: They feel inferior. The church doesn’t make them feel that way. They put the burden on themselves. They can just as easily take it off.
It’s not just a Mormon thing. Yes, the church teaches submission to men but so does the Bible. The “keeping sweet” principle is Mormon in nature but it is still voluntary. “Keeping sweet” doesn’t mean you have to work full-time and clean the house until it is spotless.

That is right,
I serviced heaters, cook stoves, washers back in the fifties, was in most every house in the Mormon town where i lived, i did not see any difference between the Mormon women than any one else, and this was including a clean house, i was a little suprised because i expected to.

I’ve never seen a difference. The only difference I see is the number of kids and that leads to a messy house, especially if the wife works. The ward in the next county consists basically of one family and it has 300 members. It’s all the families that married into that family and all their kids and who married them.
Well, there’s all that weird Mormon schlock that seems to show up at every house but that’s another story. It’s harmless but weird. And that whole “We are really into family. Our family is the most important thing. We want the best for our children unless that child leaves the Mormon church”. I’ve noticed that has calmed down a bit though.

The church doesn’t make them feel that way.

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 132

51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, ^areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been ^afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and ^acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be ^bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ^ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of ^beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid ^aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to ^brejoice.
