I'd imagine that plenty of various sects of Christianity in America would be pretty high on this list also. Growing up a Jehovah's Witness, which at the very least does attempt to stick pretty close to the Bible--the man as head of the family and thus the woman being in subjection to him is a pretty strong message that is taught from a very, very young age.
Christian men may not expect their wives to wear a burka, but I can't count the times I've had women come into the salon and want to dramatically change their hair but "my husband would never let me!" Women who have to check with their husbands before they spend any money, etc, etc.
It's not as visible, but that kind of stuff absolutely exists in Christianity also.

This is the kind of post I'm talking about. Let's stop pretending that Christians in the west are on some equivalency with islamic states. They are not. Forcing women to wear a Burka or an Abaya is awful and should be condemned as such. Those cultures treat women like garbage and should be called out as such.
My wife and I consult each other on everything. Hairstyles, money etc.. Why would she get a haircut I wouldn't like. I wouldn't be upset if she did but I wouldn't be happy, just like I wouldn't get a hairstyle she wouldn't like, what's the point.
