It's not about the pants

It isn't about wearing skirts or pants to church.

The wearing pants instead of skirts is symbolic of shedding a cultural (as opposed to a doctrinal) gender role.  It's about how some church policies promote gender roles that could be interpreted as perpetuating a culture of inequality between men and women.

For example, although being the Sunday School President requires no preisthood authority or stewardship, it is always a role filled by a man. Likewise all of the church finances are processed by men, both at the local and general level.

These were the two examples that I admit could have merit, however overall I don't feel like I have been treated as inferior or unequal ever in my worship or leadership experience. If anything I have been deferred to more because I am a woman. Now perhaps that is due to excellent local leadership, but one would hope it happens at a worldwide level.

As with all things I decided that due to my personal experience most of the goals of this event don't resonate with me. If there is sexism in the church, it certainly isn't doctrinal. Perhaps some policies are favored towards men fulfilling more roles, but I don't believe this implies that women can't fill those roles; just that they don't have the responsibility to.
