It’s becoming increasingly clear that when TLC decided to promote a story of the fundamentalist Christian Duggar family, they weren’t just idolizing right-wing anti-gay bigots, they were legitimizing a toxic cult that for years had lived in the shadows and now – thanks to increasing exposure – has begun to fester and grow.

“Quiverfull,” the fundamentalist movement run by a man named Vaughn Ohlman, works to silence and control women in ways that wouldn’t seem entirely out of place in regions controlled by the Taliban. Its “pitch” is that women should be subservient to their husbands, and relied on primarily for household chores and churning out babies. (The “full” quiver in the name is a nod to the number of children each family is encouraged to have – as many as possible.)

But if mature women are reduced to home- and baby-makers, then girls are seen as less than that.

Enter Ohlman’s brand new “retreat” designed specifically for Christian dads to meet up and plan who they will give their daughters to, particularly troublesome ones who may be nearly out of high school and haven’t found a husband yet.
