It's perplexing that religions with misogynistic practices are accepted on the premise that the oppressed women are supposedly happy and fulfilled. This assumption overlooks the possibility (certainty) that these women may be content because they have been conditioned to know nothing else, as it has been their norm throughout their lives.

A lot of it is also older women who suffered the worst off the repression when they were younger passing on the abuse to the younger generation.
