Institutionalized Misogyny

Systemic gender inequality baked into religious teachings and practices

• You are told that women can’t lead or speak because they are women.

• You are taught that men are naturally more suited to leadership or spiritual authority.

• You are taught that men should have more rights than women.

Potential clinical implications (especially for women in high control settings)

• Personal abilities and leadership potential may be undervalued.

• Internal conflict can arise when advocating for equality.

• Harmful gender beliefs may persist even after rejecting the system.
