The focus has been on the women and their lack of rights within the paradigm of these programs but in reality, it's both genders that are equally harmed. They train young women to believe their only purpose in life is to be a wife and to have a lot of children and to "dress modestly" because dressing immodestly is the root of all evil, according to them. The man is always right and it's women's duty to obey men and to have a graceful demeanor at all times. So what the girls in this program grow into are women who seem like they could easily integrate into society because they have the PR skills and personalities employers are after except they are forbidden to seek employment besides midwifery and similar occupations but most do not work, they just stay home and raise kids.

The men are raised to believe they do not have to control their impulses, it's always someone else's fault they feel sexually aroused and they see arousal as bad except when it's husband and wife procreating. So what you see stemming from these organizations are angry, dysfunctional men who always feel bad about getting turned on, and could even react violently toward whomever they feel is responsible if it's not their wives. So it would be very difficult for them to function normally in American society when they are raised to these standards. They were never taught how to deal with themselves in a healthy way. So they are basically at a disadvantage socially because of this.

I have noticed this disparity between the husbands and wives.

It's like, the woman is free to talk to anyone, even other men, and show off her charm and grace because she is thought of as trust worthy although she doesn't flirt, just talks about God and family but the man cannot talk to women other than the really young ones or older and members of his own family without feeling it's bad because she isn't his wife and as we know, society these days demands men talk to a wide variety of men and women.
