I would guess a lot of that thinking comes from middle aged, or elderly church ladies. They've been conditioned from an early age to believe they're not capable, and by extension, they naturally project themselves onto other women.

So they either admit to themselves that they've been duped their whole lives, or they escalate their commitment to the idea that this was simply never their ballfield at all.

Religious dogmatism is a pervasive and insidious thing. Particularly the way it's weaponized in America.
