My boyfriend comes from a fundamentalist Mormon family. He's also a transman, so he's been on the receiving end of a lot of misogyny; the church not only condones it, but tells them it's a good thing. Women are pretty much told they have to go out, get married, have lots of kids and dedicate their entire life towards their husband and children. Has anyone here seen or read Twilight? Stephanie Meyer is Mormon, too, and if you're semi-familiar with Mormon beliefs and culture, you can see a lot of its negative sexist influences in her work.
