Should Mormon women be ordained to the Priesthood?

I have been reading a lot lately how Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) women really want to be ordained to the priesthood. What do you think?

Why not, Mormonism is made up, so why not change the rules?

Side: They should

I think women should be allowed to be Mormon priests. I see no reason to ban them.

Side: They should

I am not completely against women being ordained to the priesthood. With that said I do believe that it is not up to us to dictate if women should hold the priesthood or not. The church has made it very clear how revered women are in the LDS faith and how loved they are by our Heavenly Father. Why do we as women want more? Men cannot enter the relief society session of conference so why should we be allowed to enter the priesthood session? We can still watch it on the television and read it later. Why take seats from men who hold the priesthood? Also, who makes the commandments in the church? Who makes the rules? Is it the prophet and other leaders of the church? No, it is God. He is the only one who can give priesthood to women. God does not work on our time line, so even if he will give us the power of the priesthood eventually it is not now. No, as of now, women should not be given the keys of the priesthood.
