It's pushed by capitalists who believe the wins of feminism against patriarchy are responsible for the birthrate decline.

And it's pushed by reactionaries who are so vile and disgusting that they can't get access to women without structures that undermine their ability to be independent, both physically and mentally.

They seek to colonise the minds of women and RETVRN them to obedient servility.

The secondary effect is that religious conflict is easier to sell than pinkwashing and "bringing freedom" was.
