You’re right. We forgot to mention the 1st step however:
They pushed faith in God out of their lives.
Bingo! That is almost always the krux of the problem. Especially when we're talking about political movements that are done with a passion (read: done religiously).
Almost anytime you see someone support such a movement with such fervor, look deeper and you'll almost always find a movement based first on denying God. Then with a God-sized void in their hearts, they try to fill that void with another passion even when it makes no sense. Basically, feminism was their new religion, just like today the new religions are racial hate towards whites (though not called that), sexual indoctrination of kids (though not called that), etc.
To win the long-term political battles we have to first win the larger spiritual battle. Otherwise at best we're always on defense as they relentlessly attempt to destroy our country pursuing one political religion after another.
