It looks to me that Jeffrey is sexist since he considers the only reason to have women around is to clean up after the males. I took the statement “They were four men, living altogether, yet they were all alone” to mean this. They were living in the same house but lacking that family feeling and communication that kept them from interacting as a family thereby resulting in each being isolated. Only after the females came into the family did things get jarred loose and they became a family. The females were more of a catalyst in creating a family than some slaves for the males.

""Bunch creators believed that men must be entitled to enslave females (woMen)."" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" You mean Alice did not get Paid?? The only unrealistic thing here is that she was doing a job no American would do?? [lol] The only Family member with a JOB was MR.Brady, so who is the "ENSLAVED" party in this story??

...but with Alice as the surrogate second wife, this obviously was a Mormon plot.

I suspect that their conclusions will rely on how they define their terms to start with. If, as I suspect, any reaction against any Muslims anywhere under any circumstances fall within the definition of Islamophobia, I think we can be pretty confident that nothing useful will come out of the conference.

If, on the other hand, a more commonsensical definition is used, e.g., over-generalization or reaction against all Muslims because of the actions of some Muslims, I think we can be pretty confident that nothing useful will come out of the conference.
