It's normal to feel the way you feel you described, especially in the 21st century and more so in the US where Hollywood and individualism and "not supposed to judge others" thing has ruined the society.
There are definitely societies and groups that you can feel at ease and at home. For example to test yourself go to Mosque (Muslim worship place) and ask the women there that you have just accepted Islam (as if) and want to learn more about Islam. And see whether you feel at ease with them, the way they behave the way they talk etc.
Here is some info on Sisterhood in Islam http://www.revert2reality.com/content/view/35/28/ and a blog of a convert http://newmuslimahrevert.blogspot.com/
Good luck! You should be glad that you are not a nutcase like the rest of the people around you :)
I feel displaced, as if I'm from somewhere else
