Tanstaafl: the existence of that Texas compound (and by the way they are NOT affiliated with the mainstream LDS church) does not in any way mean that this sort of oppression is “reality” for most or even many women in this country. Most women (even most genuine LDS women) don’t live in a compound, wear burqa-like dresses, and marry their 15 year old daughters to pedophiles. If you want to deal with reality, don’t look at people who ran away from it for examples.
