[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised hardcore fundamentalist. Some of the rules I lived by were more strict than what the Duggars live by. Some of the people I encountered were hateful and self-righteous, others were normal. While too much emphasis was put on the girls and women covering themselves to avoid tempting the men, it wasn't as bad as some of the PPs are insisting. [/quote]
There definitely are people who are stricter than the Duggars. But your "hardcore fundamentalist" upbringing probably wasn't just like the Duggar kids'.  There's lots of information out there about the organization, ATI, whose philosophies the Duggars taught their kids and that organization's leader (Bill Gothard).  Among Internet sources are folks who were raised in ATI, at least one of whom saw the Duggars pretty regularly at conferences.  I don't accuse the Duggars of extreme sexism and victim-blaming based on their long dresses and curled hair but instead on all the information out there about ATI and how it has treated sexual abuse both in its literature and at the organization's headquarters.
