What do Mormon Feminists think of the FLDS raid?

EDIT: A respectful post can't get past the bigot parade. Fuck it. Their conversation would probably get bombed anyway.

Better to leave them alone.

1. I didn't know there were any

I know Kip Thorne (the physicist) was in the church, and by his own description his mother is a feminist, but the whole family got voluntarily excommunicated from the LDS in the 1980's specifically because of the treatment of women.

5. No such thing. Mormonism is as rabidly patriarchal as they get.

You start sounding like a feminist in LDS circles, you get thrown out on your ear. Ask Sonia Johnson.

10. To all those saying "oxymoron", try this phrase Ex-Mormon feminist.

There are feminists who are no longer practicing Mormons, or who have left the Mormon faith. I wonder what they think of FLDS in general and of the raid.
