It's Women's Conference. Ugggghhhhhhh.
For those of you who don't know what that is, I'll break it down.
Women's Conference is when a flood of females (the majority being middle-aged) flock to BYU campus and geek out for two days while listening to speakers, going to classes, bogging up traffic, and ignoring the red hand on the crosswalk signs. They leave with a new found sense of pride in the fact that they have vaginas...or two X chromosomes...or maybe just a duplicate copy of a DAX1 gene..or some other way of identifying as cis-females. That's all I really know. I've never actually been to it, so admittedly I'm not an expert.
I had a moment of true embarrassment for my gender when I was walking through a sports building and there was a sign taped to the wall that said: "Women's Conference: This is a men's locker room. This is NOT a bathroom" right next to the "Men's Locker Room" sign by the door.
Seriously? They need a sign telling them an entrance is leading to a men's locker room literally next to the men's locker room sign.
How many times did this mix-up occur that it warranted this redundant sign?
I don't really want to know.
Just a weird girl writing about sometimes funny, sometimes serious things...

That sign thing is so funny, or sad if there actually weren't any experiences to warrant it and someone just assumes females are stupid and going to confuse it. Anyway, I actually really wanted to come this year, mostly because I want to visit BYU again which I bet a lot of the women who go there are alumni but unfortunately haven't quite kept up with the mentality of signs and getting where you need to be, hello suburbians - I think I'd take women's conference over EFY though, no? Also, one lady in my ward is there and used the excuse "it's a work conference" to get her husband to stay home with the kids while she went :) I thought it was brilliant because now that I'm a mom/wife I feel a strong desire to be surrounded by only women for a day and be totally rejuvenated. And eat whatever the crap I want without having to feed someone else lol
Haha. So true, Claire. In reality I think Women's Conference is probably pretty great (and a lot better than EFY). I would never judge you if you came down to go to it. :)
