Men fear us and dislike us for being independent and too many other women follow in their parents footsteps and treat women badly as well. Women in the South, especially those from Evangelical homes, are totally taught to devalue other women (women be subservient to your husband type crap) and that women should have no control or power - even over their own bodies.

Guess I'm lucky that didn't happen with me. My parents were Evangelical, but mom was raised in a family of 8 girls and 4 boys and those girls were very strong in their sisterhood. I was raised to value and respect & cherish other women and told they will be with you when no one else is. I'm thankful for that aspect of my upbringing but discarded the Evangelical crap when I was a teen.
