    Love the podcast. Curacao is in the caribbean and the last ‘c’ should sound like an ‘s’

    Really excellent podcast! I loved the passion from all sides, and it was terrific to have the discussion being held by believers, I think that gave it added weight and, at least to me, emotional impact.

    Ashley was a fantastic addition to the panel! It was great to have an active, believing woman voice, particularly one who is in the trenches with the young women who are most vulnerable to the problems with institutional misogyny. Hope we hear from her again if she’s willing!

    Great podcast. Best episode I’ve listened too. I would put my money on this episode being the most listened to of 2012 and maybe 2013.

    Lindsey needs to work on her humor. Curacao is a former Dutch possession in the Carib. I am quite surprised.

    Encourage people to be more lively or humorous.

    Keep trying Matthew as these discussions are helpful.

    I loved the part when I believe lindsay says that when mormons hear the term mormon feminists, they assume that they either want to be men, or they want to have the priesthood… and that is just not true. Yes yes yes. A million times, yes. Can we make a meme about this? Shout it from the rooftops? Shove it in as many faces as possible?

    Loved this so much. I wish I could get the angry TBMs in my life to listen, but they won’t. They don’t “need” to, and they “know” that they are right… Sigh.

    Brandt and Ashley, if we had more people in our Ward like you, I would feel good about taking my kids (YM/YW/Primary) back to Church. I miss worshipping and the social aspect but the culture and closed minded leaders stop us from attending. You could probably get Bishop A* on board, but I bet Stake Prez C* is a different story – strictly by the book kind of guy! Thanks for the great podcasts from you all – I really enjoy them!!! Keep up the good work!

    Great as always! Other changes that were brought on from a grass root movement were the garments. Women’s legs just looked weird on their legs when they wore leggings. They also complained about the garment when they had to roll up their sleeves when cleaning.
