I'm gonna elaborate on this, and then I'm going to bed.

The assumption underlying any claim that #RepealThe19th is "misogynist" and against the gospel is that there is literally *no* reason anyone could reasonably think men should lead the country other than *hatred* of women. https://twitter.com/JReubenCIark/status/1265380373984206848
So if you believe that, how do you explain that women don't have the priesthood?

"Oh, well that's different because God said so."

Ok, so does that make God a misogynist? Don't laugh or cry, this is *exactly* what M*rmon feminists say. How do you answer them?

The thing is you *can't* answer them because you share all of their assumptions. Based on those assumptions, there is *zero* reason why a woman cannot hold the priesthood other than God hating women. They don't think God hates women, so they shift the accusation to the brethren.
Meanwhile you, who likes the church but also really likes holding mainstream views of the world and punishing those who don't, just sit there befuddled while young people lose their testimonies over absurd PC ideas that *you* defend.

"No, I assume that God has a good reason for restricting the priesthood to men, I just don't know what it is."

That's fine, you dont have to know the reason. The point is to understand that someone could *love* men and women equally without treating them identically.

"God has a good reason for treating men and women differently, but you don't."

Don't I? Rather than try to understand me, you are simply adopting the world's frame that anyone who deviates from PC does so for evil reasons.

How does the Church look under that particular lens?
The World handed you a gun and said "use this on anyone who thinks men and women have different social roles."

You: "ok but I'm not gonna use this on God or my church leaders, just fellow members"

The world: "it's ok you're just a beginner"
