Correct. Quiverfull does not equal Patriarchy any more than homeschooling, being a SAHM, or any of the other teachings that VF turns into moral absolutes and include in their teachings do in themselves equal Patriachy.
For example, Vision Forum teaches that everyone should homeschool, but there are many homeschoolers that do not follow VF philosophies or agree with their teachings. So it would probably be accurate to say that all VF followers are homeschoolers, but would be wildly inaccurate to say or assume that all homeschoolers are VF followers.
There are also many people who don't use birth control but do not at all fit in or agree with all of the other ideas and teachings many associate with the Quiverfull movement.
I think it's extremely important to make sure there is really good, solid evidence before putting names out there as being connected with VF.

I totally agree. I hope you didn't think that I was arguing that those people should be included in the list.
I had said in the first place that I was not sure and when challenged I was excusing myself by explaining where I found them.
