As someone who grew up in Christian Nationalism, I will add one thing to the excellent insights here. Many of these women participate in oppressing other women because THEY resent the choices those women have, choices they lack or believe they cannot make. Envy, jealousy and resentment are big emotions. They make humans do despicable things.

Thank you all for the great comments on this piece. This is a huge source of sadness for so many of us and illustrates how deeply embedded misogyny is in the Conservative Christian movement, and how so many support it to their own detriment.
