My parents did such a good job pretending feminism had gotten women voting rights and a few nuts were burning bras in the 60s and 70s, but all that was done with, that I did not learn how much further it had all gone until I was a sophomore in high school.
My husband laughs at me, but there was a lot of cover-up going on. ERA failed, and mom helped. Now if it had succeeded, we'd have unisex toilets and never be safe from rape, but as you can see that didn't happen. Women would be forced to work, maternity leave would be slashed and children would be in mandatory daycare. See, didn't happen! And since I only associated with mormons outside of school, and my classmates were too busy studying to get into social issues beyond their little cliques... I really had no idea!
And my family mormons would have been delighted if I missed the message entirely, but I caught on and burnt my own bras, setting out on my own with no man protecting me. And now my mom is jealous of all the things I got to do that she tried to pretend I had no right or safety to do. Well, she could have done it all too, but she bought the mormon line that she had no rights.
I don't know about "seriously mind-controlled," but I think this is a perfect example of how the patriarchal church teachings (bow your head and say yes, be obedient, man is head of house so do what he says always) is damaging and abusive. From my objective exmo perspective, that poor woman was in an abusive relationship. She didn't learn that from the mormon church. She mentioned some beliefs that sounded like she was raised pentacostal or some other fundie evangelical religion. I'm just glad she got out before her children internalized the idea that abuse = what a normal relationship looks like.
