Women are treated like little kids by the Republican Party

"Are women adults" is a question that seems to have a simple answer (yes), but looking across the political landscape, it’s clear that a lot of conservatives don’t agree at all, instead seeing women more as large children with whom it’s legal to have sex. Women have been able to vote, sit jury duty and have their own jobs and bank accounts for decades now, but many conservatives continue insisting that women be considered minors who are simply incapable of making even the most basic personal decisions without a firm, guiding, preferably male hand.
This mentality is most obvious when considering conservative Christians who treat married women like they are their husbands' subjects. Using Ephesians 5:22 (“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord") as justification, many Christian conservatives argue that a husband is the head of the household and his wife is to submit to him, much in the same way children are expected to obey parents. In 1998, the Southern Baptist Convention gave official blessing to this view and this concept, often called “headship,” has spread wildly throughout Christian right circles.
