It is clear to me that WL systematically repressed the women (and his Brothers We followed suit) for mainly one reason - to eliminate half the potential rivals for power.

I think you're seeing a lot of the Asian and southern United States (Texas) cultural influence that exists and continues to be perpetuated. Misogyny isn't new. But does it deserve a home in the church? I don't think so. Plus if you were one seeking power it gives you an automatic dominance. Can't remember who brought this to my attention but it should come as no surprise that after the "Me Too" movement began all of the sudden the little weekend conferences for sisters started up. Coincidence?
