The other is Costa Rican. I think that Sister Beck may be less out of touch than many people are assuming.

As a young women I was always annoyed or confused when women would apologize for their messy houses when we came over. I couldn't understand why anyone would need apologizing, and most of the time they were clean enough by my standards. In fact, I swore that I wouldn't do that apologizing when I had my own house. But, of course I do. I feel guilty about breakfast dishes in the sink, or a floor that hasn't seen a mop in a week. If that was what Sis. Beck was talking about, then that's lame. I already feel guilty and don't want to. As far as her leaving out fatherhood's responsibilities, that is unfortunate. But, I guess women aren't supposed to tell the men what to do (unless we're talking young men, our sons) in General conference. I think I counted 2 women speakers in 10 hours of talks? There's an issue worth discussing. . . About the Beck talk and guilt: I think there is definitely an issue of guilt socialized into Mormonism.

Beck's talk, I really liked her discussion of priorities and her disdain for excessive consumption and materialism. That was nice to hear. Okay, after all that has been said about Sis.
