women

now more than ever, we need women to step up and be strong. we need women who declare the truth with strength, faith, and boldness. we need women to set an example of righteousness. we need women to be "anxiously engaged in a good cause." we need to live so that our lives bear witness that we love our Heavenly Father and the Savior Jesus Christ and that we will do what They have asked us to do. we need to rescue "all that is finest down deep inside of us" so that as daughters of God we can do our part to build the kingdom of God. we will help you do this. as joseph declared, "if you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates."

I think there's a need for women stepping up and setting an example of being righteousness. Especially in America, where women abuse their powers. From gold digging wives like Ana Nicole Smith who take 50% of everything after a divorce, to women who claim false rape charges against celebrities, to the women you on desperate housewives who are only in their marriage for the sake of money and fashion. All this shit only undermines their overall credibility.

All of the above is not true in third world countries, where there's a serious need for women rights as well as human rights.
