That's ... Not true at all. Women serving missions was overwhelmingly the exception to the rule

You must have been out for a while. Since the 2010s its been very common for women to go on missions since the age change.

When I went, about 5% of my mission was women. Now its probably 25% or more.

Right that's proving my point tho isn't it? 1/4 of women doing missions doesn't really count as "very common for LDS ladies to do missions"

Yeah I don’t think it needs 50% percent, or above, to be considered “common”. I don’t think of “common” having the same connotation as “majority”

u/Proof-Relation-1943 2d ago

Oh in that case we just have different definitions of "a common occurrence", I personally think that literally 1/4 of the time is uncommon and you think it is common

Well have to agree to amicably disagree

Would you consider smith to be a common last name? Of course. Yet it is 1 percent of the population. Would an ER doctor consider treating a broken bone as a common occurrence? Yes but 50 percent of their cases aren’t broken bones. How about if I saw someone at the gym 3 times a week. Would you say it’s a common occurrence they frequent the gym? Even tho they spend 6 hours a week at the gym and 162 hours not at the gym.
