My point in referencing isn't to judge whether the situation is good, bad, or indifferent.

And it may well be that women there are making these choices freely--I'm not in any position to judge.

But the point is that the culture in Utah is driven in large measure by the significant Mormon influence. Indeed, women may well be choosing to stay home because of that Mormon influence.

All fine and good--if that's what people want to do, more power to them--I'm not going to judge.

But this culture does seep out into the broader Utah culture, and denying that (as the post I was originally responding to does), is making an error.
