This is for a story I'm writing, and its a fictional religion based of from Vision Forum Ministries, it has a website you could look up on google; its a very patriarchal and quiverfull religion.
ADAMISM-a radical and fundamental religion whose creeds advocates and emphasize on biblical patriarchy, quiver-full beliefs, family life and values, marriage, polygamy, anti-feminism, teetotalism, non-smoking, providentialism, masculism, homemaking and housekeeping. Women in this sect are referred to as property and should obey their husbands without complaint or disagreements; even children are under the authority of their father. A woman’s role in this sect is being a dutiful housewife. Young girls are trained to be pure and virtuous; they only play with dolls, teacups and dollhouses, and taught how to cook, sew and clean.
Here, the women are modest in their Pilgrim/Victorian/Pioneer-like dresses, married women address each other as 'Mrs' while unmarried girls can use names. They are the properties of their husbands/fathers/or any male relative. If she is widowed, she must marry again, for it is considered indecent for a women to be lonely and not continue serving her role as mother and wife. To the Adamites, God made woman to a companion for man, to birth his children, to clean their home and to please him with her femininity as her gender role commands her so. All of the women must be married, either their father/brother/male relative or her reverend chooses one for her, and she must accept it with gratitude and thankfulness and grace. A woman's existence and body must be used to satisfy man's loneliness, his heart and his need to procreate, and his bed and hearth. The Adamaite women are mostly taught in basic housekeeping care; cleaning, sewing, cooking, gardening, home economics, child-bearing, passivity, obedience and for her leisure time she goes/invites others for tea, discussing biblical morals and reading books about virtue, grace, modesty and doing some needlework while reciting poetry about feminine virtue and the psalms. Young girls play only with dolls, damsels in distress, wearing long dresses, staying clean and play tea parties, reading about biblical women, and are taught how to sew, cook, plant and help their brothers/father.
