    Are female "genaral authorities" paid like their male counterparts?

    That is to say, are the general Relief Society, Young Women's and Primary presidencies paid while they serve in their posts?

    If not, why not?

    No.

    Because women are not supposed to work outside the home -- it's against our religion.

        I don't think that they do. If you look at the some of the bios of the male auxilary leaders some of them appear to still have outside employment:

        Sunday School President:
        Brother Osguthorpe holds multiple degrees from Brigham Young University, including a PhD in instructional psychology. He currently serves as director of the Center for Teaching and Learning and as a professor in the Department of Instructional Psychology and Technology at Brigham Young University
        First Counselor in Sunday School:
        Brother McConkie is an attorney practicing law at a Salt Lake City–based law firm. He received his law degree from the University of Utah.
        Young men President:
        Brother Beck is an executive with a manufacturing and distribution company and serves on the board of a technology college
        First Counselor in Young men:
        Brother Gibson’s professional career has been in the technology sector where he worked as vice president and chief information officer of a Fortune 500 company.
        Second Counsel in Young men:
        Brother Ochoa has worked in advertising and film production in the United States and Mexico. He and his wife Nancy oversee humanitarian work in Latin America...
        I don't know how often they update these bios or if I am reading too much into the words here. Plus nothing says that they cannot still receive a stipend from the church for their callings while they are working. So if the men don't receive any funds then I would guess that the ladies do not either, but what do I know.

        P.S. Since they only update the sunday school manuels once a decade is we are lucky, that has got to be the easiest leadership gig there is. I hope that they don't get paid for that.
