While that may be part of it, I'm not sure it's a recent development. Having been around a bunch of different family a lot lately, the fear narrative has gotten in deep. They will say they aren't going to live in fear or whatever, but their actions betray their words for the most part. Really only commonality is they are women, and that's not me being TheImpossible, just that I think the powers that be know that's where the door is open.
