The roots of the ultracon holiness movement is rooted in the deep South ... and one would be remissed if one cannot see that often women are subjugated in many of these churches to great extents ... and one way to manipulate and keep women in their place is to make them the trophies of dress holiness.

As one who has been in or around southern holiness for nearly five decades I really cannot see this.
Women, as a culture, have made much more dramatic changes in their fashion than have men over the last 50-60 years. In an attempt to maintain the status quo of a 1950 Norman Rockwell looking family yes the onus is therefore greater on the female.
So yes in that sense it is harder on the women. But I have not seen any "conspiracy to manipulate" or "keep women in their place" by use of "standards."
