Rob-

You have fully misunderstood the point of Elder Rector’s quote. He was making the exact opposite point. His point (made comically) is that men need the priesthood in order to even come close to being equal with women. That women are inherently better, more influential, and more powerful. There has been many variations of this sentiment circulated in the LDS church over the years. Agree with the point or not, the quote is evidence of the opposite of what you are trying to prove.
