Unfortunately, I am not as thoughtful )in the typee-typee verbal sense:) <br /><br />I think we agree on most parts and there are some semantics issues going on that I am not up to clearing up... <br /><br />I enjoy questioning such topics because sometimes I find people trying to fill a void or explain away a truth.

I follow feminist mormon housewives, and this is a topic that comes up a lot.<br /><br />My feeling about it is something like this: Holding the priesthood really isn't that big a deal. I mean it's a big deal, that the priesthood is restored to the earth and God's power is here to bless us directly.

She loved it :) <br /><br />I have mixed feelings about calling motherhood the equivalent of the priesthood. Motherhood is cool and all - but fathers have fatherhood we don't have priestesshood.

One thing I think is beautiful about breastfeeding is how dependent mother and baby are on each other-- being separated for more than a couple of years can be painful for both! It keeps us close.
