Heh. I dunno, if you're seeing sexism where it isn't here, I gotta wonder how much of the sexism you're seeing elsewhere actually exists. You seem to have a pretty big chip on your shoulder about it. I don't doubt that some churches are just like you say, but mine sure isn't. Women's authority roles in my church have different titles than men's, but there's just as many female leaders as male. Every congregation has a male bishop and a female Relief Society president, and they run things between them. And I've never once felt like anybody in my church thought less of me because of my gender. Somewhat the opposite even, the prophet (leader of the whole church world wide) once said he felt that women were if anything far better than men, and the men of the church could do worse than to try and emulate their wives. The church uses some archaic language, like the "man" for "mankind" thing, but honestly... when you're used to that meaning, reading the Bible suddenly includes women much more thoroughly, and maybe that's a good thing.

And when a guy says "Let's discuss this idea: 'God speaks to all men.' *writes on blackboard* Now what do you think this means? Well first let's talk about the 'men' part. Am I leaving you ladies out? Of course not! I'm using 'men' here in the sense that means all mankind, so it includes everyone in this room. And what else does 'all men' mean..."

That's more or less what he said, paraphrasing because it's been a few weeks. I really don't think I need to say anything about inclusive language there. It would be absurd when he made it crystal clear that he's being inclusive.
