Respect can happen. It's within reach, it is possible. The Church might need a revelation to ordain women, but we could respect women more by listening to women's opinions, including  more women as speakers, quoting women, and including more women in more councils. 

Living on the Inside of the Edge by Christian Kimball. Common Consent Press. 2023. p. 208

This is the way that ward councils ought to talk. I'd like to think that this is the way that husbands and wives would talk. We're respectful; we're interested; people have ideas; we're sharing. And in some of the cultures-this is a worldwide broadcast-this will run counter to tradition and history and the style of some people. But gospel culture always has to prevail. And if it hasn't been the local habit or the local tradition to listen to the sisters or to have the marvelous respect these sisters have shown to priesthood-all of this, we hope, will convey to the Church the need to hear each other, love each other, talk together, get the best ideas, pray for guidance, and have better families and a better Church as a result. That shouldn't be the least of the issues conveyed in our broadcast here tonight.
