Church callings and leaders: FMH POST

My sentiments, exactly! I've personally been pretty lucky in my callings in having respectful male leaders, but I have close friends and family who have experienced humiliation and real trauma under the thumb of 'unrighteousness dominion.' Of course people are human and make mistakes (and we all need the benefit of learning from our mistakes), but it's so hard to watch deep harm being done by leaders who ignore our concerns (and who consider us unfaithful for voicing them, whatever tone we use). We need to have grown-up, non-threatening, and non-patronizing discussions about this stuff because the cats probably aren't going back into the bag. Meow!
