2. Evangelical churches strong emphasis on female subordination

Super strong emphasis since early 1990s. Many think it is despairing last ditch fight for male privilege.

Some see anti same sex marriage stance also part of this. With both partners male or both female it is impossible to see who is head and who is follower.

There is only one Evangelical leader who still claims 'biblical' support for black subordination/slavery. He's a mega leader in Idaho with a church, a denomination, and a 'college' (sorry, have forgotten his name).

Not to worry--he's a strong supporter of female subordintion. A few years ago he gained notoriety in Evangelical circles with a sermon in which he discussed in detail how the sex act itself depicts female subordination as the male triumphantly 'colonizing' the female!! Thereby 'proving' that such subordination is a part of 'god's divine natural order.'
