How do you explain the women joining ISIS?

I'm not going to attempt to explain it all. What I wrote about only explains some of the people joining.

And women can desire to kill too. Or see conservative Christian women in the US (where I am) choosing to deliberately set aside careers and other "modern" or "masculine" things for their beliefs.

I can't explain that either, seems bizarre to me to deliberately reduce your agency, but some people think it's the thing to do.
