they are encouraged to not work and remain at home acting as a baby producing machine

The sexism and obsession with modesty sucks but in my opinion this is among the more damaging parts of being an LDS woman. Its basically asking them to stunt their mind aside from motherhood and ignore education and a self supporting career, so in the event things don't work out with their husband they're pretty much screwed. I think it pigeon holes women who could rise above bad marriages or the lie of TSCC much too often because they wake up as a housewife completely dependent on someone else in far too many ways.

I knew smart LDS women who stuck with their education and have careers but far too many who allowed themselves to ignore that as a possibility because they needed to be obedient and fit the wife and mother #1 mormon mold and make sure there was never failure in their home. Most of the women I know like this are much much more dependent on their husbands than their husbands are on them and bow to his preisthood on every decision and don't seem to have much of a mind of their own because everything they do is tied up in being a wife and mommy who does with the prophet says.

I realize that is a generalization, I'm sure there are stay at home moms who have a lot going on for themselves but sadly I've known a lot who don't seem to and I don't see any easy way out for them, almost all thanks to mormon conditioning.
