Conversations on social media are rarely substantive, but sometimes a comment can provide a good opening to a larger discussion. In this episode, Cynthia and Susan unpack a comment made on a recent ALSSI post that seemed to ruffle a few feathers. It’s a discussion about unhelpful ways Latter-day Saints sometimes respond to each other, and how we might all benefit from retiring the tired scripts members have relied on for too long in an effort to keep each other in line.

finally getting around to listening to this. I really hope some higher ups are paying attention to what you ladies are saying. You are like one crying in the wilderness. Thank you for lighting the way for women to speak their truth! “The truth hurts, this page is full of apostasy…” Heaven forbid we talk about what we live and what we see. Gee whiz.
