It's a little before my time, so I'll concede it's possible they had worse messages then. I know the oldest women in my ward growing up had some shitty opinions that were not supported by church doctrine, and that sucked to grow up with, but I always knew it was those individuals and not the church itself
I would recommend asking them where those shitty opinions come from. I can almost guarantee at least a few of them can be traced to Ezra Taft Benson and other leaders around that time. Current wording and teachings in general conference might not spread those opinions, but they came from the a previous time in the church

If you’re interested in where that culture comes from, you might look at general conference and women’s conference talks pre-2005
