Sexism is a "Family Value"

Abstract

The article argues that sexism is an inherent and underlying value in the discourse of the Christian Coalition of America, a prominent Right-Wing group. Rooted in Fundamentalist Christianity, the Coalition's "family values" agenda perpetuates a society of domination, where male authority and control over women are justified as natural and ordained by God. This ideology is evident in their political activism, legal advocacy, and social policies, which systematically undermine women's rights and reinforce gender inequality.
