If you have grown up among Christian women, it is difficult for you to imagine that women are capable of evils that equal those of the most evil men in human history.

Actually, traditional Christianity understood very well the fallen nature of women (and men). What we have now, in many churches (and not just the ones that embrace things like homosexuality, but also ones that appear legit) is a pedestalization of women, a false belief that women, by nature, are good, chaste, loving creatures. Certainly they can be, but only if raised so. Their innate nature, unchecked by any spiritual teachings, is no better than the darkest of men's nature and is often worse. Anyone well-versed in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, would not, at all, be surprised that women are capable of great evil.

I consider the current Disneyfied view of women that infects our culture to be a direct result of feminism. Whereas once society understood that women could be evil, and that their unchecked ids would tear society apart, we have a certain political correctness that demands we view all women as angelic, and that if she shot her husband in his sleep it must be his fault for abusing her, or if she drowns her children, it must be because she suffers from a clinical depression, or if she leaves or cheats on her husband, it must be because he neglected or abused her. Feminism has been very, very successful in rigidly enforcing the idea of women as angels who can do no wrong. Anyone who disagrees is a misogynist.

It is my opinion that feminism-inspired political correctness and misandry is so pervasive, that even supposedly conservative people and organizations, like Christian churches, also adhere to it to some degree. I've seen it spew from Freepers, both male and female.

I also see the pro-homosexual movement as yet another prong in the overall attack on traditional American culture and society, but specifically against that society's greatest defenders - men. Feminism will support anything that tears down the power and prestige of men, and they don't seem to care if the entire country, or world, goes down with it. The pushing of gay-acceptance and "gay marriage" is simply an effort to emasculate and humiliate men, similar to children doing everything they can to defy their father and show how powerless he is.
