Men vs. women
In my church culture there is a certain aspect that really bugs me. Men who are given the priesthood authority sometimes get this idea into their head that they are somehow superior to women. Yes, the church policy is that everybody is equal, but the DeFacto situation is quite different. Since the leadership is made up of men only, women are not taken seriously. They are the cookie bakers, the quilt-makers, the smiley submissive sisters. How dare they even allow such thought of superiority enter their minds. If there is a reason why men only can bear priesthood, that would be to compensate them for whatever they lack in comparison to women. We are born mature with mature instincts and mature plans for our lives. To us it was trusted to care and to raise the new-comers. Men were given physical strength and skill to provide for us, while we raise the new generations of the human kind. Without priesthood - more service than power - they would continue play with their toys.
