Back in the 80s when my daughter was in elementary school she had a friend one year whose parents were fundies. The father was very controlling. No only where the daughters and his wife not allowed to wear jeans or trousers, but the mother wasn't allowed to vote because he couldn't be sure of who she would vote for and if she voted for someone or something that that he was against, that would negate his vote. Only the head of the family (the man of course) was allowed to vote.
