What makes it so confusing is that many of the practices that Fundamentalists do believe are not bad. Richard Phillips explains in his blog why he chose to send his 3 daughters to a Fundamentalist school rather than one that's Reformed.

And what makes it so embarrassing for both Reformed and rest of Evangelical christians is that much of what the Fundamentalists do believe in lifestyle are wholesome. One sect of Fundamentalism teaches the girls to never wear pants but only skirts/dresses and only "Jezebels wear makeup." Pretty extreme, in my opinion. But considering what we are witnessing today in the world and in many churches, I can see how the Fundamentalist approach can appear wholesome.

One Southern Baptist church I know of is pastored by a man who was raised United Pentecostal (UPC). Some UPC practices still resides in this pastor. During worship service, he requires all the men to sit on one side of the sanctuary, and all the women to sit on the other side.
