In Christian homes, in the past, women traditionally were opressed. Many people don't deem it convenient for that situation to return (or continue, for the problems of discrimination against women haven't completely been solved yet), therefore the strong opposition to anything that even remotely resembles discrimination.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
