> On the other hand there is the strange case of the Mormons who have made Utah one of the reddest states in the nation although it has low levels of dark personality
LDS forbade Black people from participating in the ordinances of its temples until 1978.
True. But a lot of institutions in America had anti-black policies that they've changed.
Mormons have a reputation of being sexist, there is evidence for that, Salt Lake City has the highest rate of cosmetics consumption in the US. However...
I used to give blood and to make it more interesting I toured all the places where the Red Cross set up centers, and one place was the Mormon Temple. Usually you don't see a lot of women giving blood, not least because they don't make as many red blood cells as men. I saw at least as many women giving blood as men there and, I don't know anything about them, but they were not having the kind of "tradwife" conversations that "hippie mamas" have in Ithaca, but were talking about international travel, business, volunteering and all sorts of adventures. They may well have been tradwives but they were certainly not just tradwives.
