That's some nice selective vision there.

I have yet to hear a solid explanation as to why a man is in a higher position of power in your visions. Or why polygamy can only work "one man - many women" but not the other way round, as you've stated elsewhere, if not in this thread as well.

When I get married, the husband will always lead. Although which husband it is will change from time to time.
I really have a serious problem with the "father knows best" mentality. It really opens up a huge window for abuse. |

Because the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon, that's why

Polyandry, as opposed to polygyny, has not been sufficiently detailed in religion or historical precedent. I can give no definitive answer at this time. Most likely, an answer won't be found until after the Second Coming of Christ. Although, there is biological precedent for favoring one over the other, that might explain it. |

There was a time when people believed that the Sun goes around the Earth. Then some non-hyper-religious people proved otherwise. All because the current believes of the time were questioned. Tax-haters, at one point, decided to move to a new continent and form a new society (which has later become known as The United States of America) instead of sitting on their butts and going "welp, this is how it'll always be!". "This is how things will always be", in my opinion, is just lazyness, even cowardice. Now, since preside =/= rule, why do the definitions of those verbs look like this? Quote:

Father: And so, son, men and women are equal. Son: So then why doesn't mom get to make decisions or even lead a family meeting? Father: Because it is my role to control this family! You silly thing! Son: Dad, that makes no sense! And if you could, please don't attempt to pull the "children should never question their parents" -card. That'd just be avoiding the question. Quote:

Oh wait. Don't we have glasses, contact lenses, contraception and the like? You know, inventions that balance the scales? As unbelievable as it feels sometimes, humans have evolved on an intellectual level and invented items, laws etc. that make it possible for humans to be equal. It wasn't that long ago when white people discovered that black people actually possess souls (this isn't intended as racism, just trying to make a point). This, of course, required people to stop sticking their heads in the bushes and going "lalala" everytime something new, whether it was an idea or an invention, was presented to them.

The fundamental laws of the universe never change either, I guess they hinder evolution as well? Quote:
And it wasn't "tax-haters" that settled America, it was religious people looking for freedom from oppression, and others seeking a better way of life. Quote:

To sit in a position of authority. Authority, in this context, meaning, the power to determine, adjudicate, and settle disputes. The power to grant permission. And the power to enforce the law. And from the Latin: "To sit in the front of", or put in other words, "to lead." Lead. That's a great word. What is a leader? what does a leader do? Quote:
The role of a father is to preside over the family, one who guides and directs the direction of the family. As I've said before, the husband and wife form a team, unified in purpose. The Husband is the team leader, sitting in front of the family and guiding it. The Wife is the support figure, sitting right behind the husband, helping him, and correcting his course if it strays. The Children are the passengers. Now, is a team leader an over-equal part of a team? Does a Team leader have "control" over the rest of the team members? Is the driver of a car more equal than it's passengers? Is a co-pilot less of a pilot because there is a Captain on board? Is there domination in any of these relationships? Why then would there be a difference for a family? Quote:
