How did I manage to ignore the sexism for sooooo long?

I came across this post today.  I'm going to share their pic here so we can talk about it too. This is the front cover of a book written by 15 old, white, Mormon leaders (guys. All the leadership are guys!).


I saw this book a few months ago in a collection that my dad inherited from my Granny. He pointed it out to me and said that my Granny had liked it and that I probably would too. I picked it up and just kind of went "Oh yeah". It repulsed me but I hadn't even noticed the authorship, I just was not at all interested in reading anything Mormon. Now that Usu Shaft has pointed out the 15 old dudes to me I kind of feel a bit sick. Best not to dwell on it too much I think, I mean... I'm out now... dodged a bullet there me thinks. Then in kicks the funny side, I mean come ooooooon! 15 guys collaborated on a book to pin down/box in/make sense of WOMAN and they failed miserably! Poor male folk; looking at their subject with lab coats on and a poking stick was never going to produce any real result. They all just need to get laid man!
