Im so tired of the rise in conservatism and various conspiracy theories

Religious Oppression

To start, i already come from a conservative islamic household where men are designed to be the head of the households, where domestic abuse is justified if the woman doesnt obey her husband, where there is concept of honor killings where a woman gets killed if the family feels like she has done something to ruin their "honor". My father uses that justification of him being "the man of the house" to control me and my mother in every aspect of life. And now i see some westerners praising values like this, there seems to be more push towards gender roles than there was few years back, people saying things like how giving women freedom was a mistake, how the nuclear family is destroyed meanwhile where i come from, women are raised to be obediant and give up their whole identities for their husband and in laws just to see some western misogynists praise this which seems like a big slap in the face, how we are just "brainwashed satanic witches" who need to be burned again like the good old days just because we cant be controlled like lifestock anymore, suddenly its always some evil antisemitic conspiracy which forced us women into workforce meanwhile women from poorer backgrounds have been working for ages doing numerous small jobs to support their families in a third world country, i have female cousins who are from poorer background in my third world country have to work as well due to financial issues, now are yall going to blame the "cia" for making them work as well?

Now you see prominent figures like rachel wilson, candace owens and various tradwife influencers becoming mainstream spewing these conspiracy theories on how all of us are just satanic brainwashed witches who need to be controlled or burned like the good old days and all the comments underneath the posts talk as if we are animals, trying to convince us so badly we would be much happier off popping off 100 babies under the control of our husbands and if we dont do that, then we will die by 100 cats at age 50 even though the latter still seems like a better option to me. I just dont care about giving into my gender role, id much rather die than give into my gender role, i dont give a fuck about your imaginary sky daddy so i dont care if that makes me a "brainwashed witch" so burn me, i dont care. If these western extremist fundie women want to follow their trad life so badly then they should stfu, do it silently in the background like their bible demanded, and give up their political career/grifting. I really hate being born a woman.
