I've always wondered about this.
It's a pretty predictable cycle.
Every 6-9 months or so, the bretheren seem to sense that the women are a little sick and tired of their "devine role", and having their identity and purpose in life dictated to, by men.
So what do they do? They trot out Sheri Dew at a women's conference, fireside, devotional..whatever.
Sheri then goes on a 50 minute diatribe about how great it is to have their identity and purpose dictated to them by men, their entire lives.
I find Sheri Dew's life to be sad.
I've met her a handful of times, and I'm convinced that she is a conflicted soul.
She talks and acts like a general authority, not like so many of the dough eyed, whispy voiced, meal mouthed female LDS speakers. I dont believe she is comfortable with herself, and I honestly suspect that she is a closeted lesbian.
Be that as it may, I wonder how women react to her. Do they buy her act, hook line and sinker? Or do they belive that she is anothing more then a pawn for the GA's?
