Deprivation
Women are more likely to:
- Experience poverty
- Experience personal or family problems
- Less self confident, more likely to seek improvement
- Be less powerful
^^ This means they may seek and find solace in religious groups. Especially NRM's which have theodicies explaining their feelings and have solutions and support.
Status Frustration
This may be experienced by women who lack personal fulfillment as a result of being confined to the home or being in unsatisfying lower-middle class jobs that are mainly done by women. Religious participation, particularly cults and sects, overcome or compensate for this
