For those of you who are members, how can you sustain our general authorities as prophets, seers and revelators; then protest Christ's church or how it is governed? All it shows is you don't feel these men and women are actually inspired by God and filled with the Holy Ghost. We do have women leaders, women do give prayer at conference, when have they not? I cannot let people tear apart Christ's church.

The first viewpoint I read in this article was one "opposing" Pres. Dalton's remark! Also, Jessie's comment was opposing something that Pres. Dalton did not advocate - she did not say to never campaign for rights, just that you wouldn't see the need. It is sad that some wish to make "an offender for a word" someone who wants to help all women. Women are as free as men in the kingdom of God, some are just blinded by their pride.

Struggling to distinguish which rights are actually rights.

This looks like either sloppy, or biased reporting. You cannot accurately report a "controversy" without getting quotes from the opposing side - showcasing only women who find no fault with Pres. Dalton is not balanced and informed journalism. There are multiple Provo based groups (Young Mormon Feminists and Provo Feminists) that may be found through social media, and there are unaffiliated individuals who would probably be willing to comment. You may contact me if you need opposing viewpoints, or I can get you in contact with others who may be able to provide insight as to why there *are* women who find Pres. Dalton's remarks disturbing and frustrating. Disappointing job, ABC4.

For a title stating controversy, you only managed to report one side of the issue. Why didn't you find someone who did *not* like Pres. Dalton's quote and ask them what about it seemed offensive? Frankly that's just sloppy reporting. Apart from Feminist Mormon Housewives, there are other Provo centered groups (Young Mormon Feminists and Provo Feminists on Facebook, as well as several unaffiliated individuals who would be willing to explain why some find her remarks so disappointing. If you undertake to report on a controversy, make sure you explain why the matter is controversial, don't just report one side.

Next time you're covering Mormon feminism at BYU, you should contact Young Mormon Feminists. We meet every Monday for Feminist Home Evening.

What poor reporting! Why not ask those who are making a controversy of it why the quote is distasteful? Instead you ask college students who didn't witness anything? Try again.

Thanks for this news story and showing once again ABC4's commitment to promoting the official Mormon Church dogma and agenda in your "reporting". Way to help shame those skeptical Mormon women into just giving in to the brainwashed, useful-idiot 'Stepford Wives' roles dictated for them by their evil, wealth and power worshiping, misogynist, otherwise bigoted, scapegoating, Nazi pseudo-Christian, all-male, Mormon Church leaders.
