“So you are proud of the thousands of women forced into plural marriages and squalor, who were considered by your prophets to be nothing more than cattle and personal property?”
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. All women are daughters of our Heavenly Father.

Are you totally ignorant of your church's history that you claim to be so proud of?

“Kimball (past lds prophet and president) always kept an eye out for romance. ‘Brethren,’ he instructed some departing missionaries, ‘I want you to understand that it is not to be as it has been heretofore. The brother missionaries have been in the habit of picking out the prettiest women for themselves before they get here, and bringing on the ugly ones for us; hereafter you have to bring them all here before taking any of them, and let us all have a fair shake.”

“Plural marriage... is calculated in its nature to severely try the women even to nearly tear their heart strings out of them...” - Journal and Autobiography of Joseph Lee Robinson, p. 50

“I think no more of taking another wife than I do of buying a cow, and if you want to build up the kingdom you must take more wives.” - Apostle Heber C. Kimball, quoted in Jennie Anderson Froiseth, ed., The Women of Mormonism: or the Story of Polygamy As Told by the Victims Themselves, 1886; see Abanes, One Nation Under Gods, p. 295

- The Lion of the Lord, by Stanley P. Hirshon, pp. 129-130

Would YOU like being considered the equivalent of a cow? Thats how your prophets viewed you.

Stop quoting other quotes from other quotes from other quotes to the point where it is ridiculous.

The pioneer women of my Church were persecuted every bit as severely as the men of my Church. And to this day we have to put up with it, which we do, as it is proof that our Church is true. Persecution comes with the territory. Keep it up if you must.

Jesus is my Savior, Soon-Coming King, the Great Jehovah, the Creator, my Redeemer. I love Him. This is Heavenly Father’s plan by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
