[quote=Anonymous]Mormonism is big on sharp gender divisions. This is hammered in throughout childhood and adolescence. Women are not prohibited from working, but motherhood is women's primary role. Men are supposed to be the breadwinners. Many smart women probably don't even pursue demanding careers (or any career) because of this. A lot of women just go to college to find a husband. When I grew up, it was basically assumed that if a woman worked she a) was a bad mother/didn't love her kids, b) her husband was not making enough to support the family and should step up, or c) the family was materialistic/greedy and didn't want to live on one income. Of course there are exceptions, but especially when the kids are young, it is heavily frowned upon to have a mother work outside of the home.[/quote]
