You haven’t been a Mormon woman, you don’t know the oppression.

Well, you sure got me on that one.

How long were you a Muslim woman? You must have been one given your statement above.

Well...we can readily trace what Mormon leaders have said about women & marriage:

19th century Mormon men reduced marriage to a "breeding" mentality: At a stake conference, LDS leader Cannon of the First Presidency [Mormonism's HIGHEST hiearchy] said:
The people of the world do not believe in breeding, but we do. So the people of the world will die out and we will fill the whole earth. I admit those raising children by plural wives are not complying with man-made laws, but in the sight of God they are not sinning, as there is no sin in it. (George Q. Cannon, Sanpete Stake conference, Sept., 1899. Smoot Investigation, Vol. 1, p. 9.) [BTW, fLDS still cite this LDS source]

Reducing wives to “one of the cows” is long-term Mormon male tradition!

“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.” (Lds “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)

Kimball had about 45 wives...and was one of the TOP THREE hierarchists in the Mormon church -- a "counselor" in "the First Presidency" with Brigham Young.
