Yup, if they married and had a child with a man like this, you can't really expect the people they surround themselves with to be vastly different. So they'd think it's normal to be like this.
LOL I'm female age 69 and 45+ years ago was when the thing with fathers in the delivery room was just getting started. I told my husband I felt like I wouldn't want him anywhere near me and the first time he went with that "There, there. You'll be fine" I told him to get out. He was no help and I did not care to be patronized at that time.
I was like, "Leave me alone. I got this." When they asked my sister if she wanted her husband there she told them, "Nooooo. He'll faint." When they asked her husband if he wanted to be in the room he told them, "Nooooo. I'll faint."
Since then I've been to several births where the mother's let several people in. I figure as long as everyone is comfortable, then it's a choice. People just gotta know their limits.

This. Everyone sees themselves as the standard, the "normal". Even if they are far, far away from "normal".
