Then again, Penny, the rules as written are one thing. How Mormon women live out their lives can be quite another. Most Mormon women I've known were intelligent, happy, and certainly not submissive to their husbands.

I think it's important to consider the reality, not so much the rules and the doctrines and mythologies.

Do you live primarily by rules and doctrines, or does common sense play a greater role? I think that for most people, Mormons included, common sense rules.
