What is a General Conference Session?

The October 2014 General Conference began (or not?) with a Relief Society Session. Several people called it the first session of conference, and apparently, “The brethren” were upset by this.  When a member of the Quorum of the 70 gave a prayer at the Saturday Evening Priesthood Session, he called that session the 4th session, which would have included the Relief Society session.  Listen to the Link, it is clear that they muted out the word fourth. It is laughable and embarrassing. The prayer was so horrific that they actually took the time to edit it, and make a statement about it in the Church Newsroom.  

I can’t think of a better way to belittle and demean women than to take the time to throw their session out of the official list.  Why does the Priesthood session count and the Women’s session does not?  It is misogyny and stupidity at its worst.

Do Women Count?
