Modern day feminism started, IMHO, with what was the egalitarian idea of universal suffrage (late 1800s, early 1900s). It has since morphed and changed to the leviathan that is feminism of today.
Now, one can argue that universal suffrage was not the same as modern day feminism is today. My response to that was the only real difference is modern day society allows the modern day feminist to scream their ‘rights’ from the highest hill tops while the feminist of the early 1900s were scorned, even beaten, for doing the same. However, modern day feminists and their predecessors the suffragettes, believed in the same ideals. Margaret Sanger is a perfect example of a feminist from the suffragette period.
By the way, I would argue that WWII just hastened the UK’s death. Feminism in the absence of WWI and WWI would have just been a much slower death. This is a supposition that I know I could never prove.
This is just a quick summary of my thoughts and I am sure you can shoot holes into what I wrote above but I trust I answered the questions you posed.

You told me what you believe, as I asked.
I am not yet convinced that you have proved it, but I cant say that you are wrong either.
Margaret Sanger is a new name to me, so I will look her up on the net and learn.
Thanks for that.
It began with the Victorian term “ladies and gentlemen” — 95% wrong for both sexes.
Much that many FReepers don’t know...Margaret Sanger, progressivism, MGTOW & Red Pill, civil rights and Republicans, COTUS...
Here’s a fun link for ya ;^)

That is just one of the ways the devil - who seeks to create a world (and even universe) where he obtains the honor and glory only God is worthy of, thru proxy servants - works. That of looking for a fault in those who overall hold to a Biblical model, and thus "correct" is in order to go further than that and subvert it.
Liberals saw the perversion of male headship into making women as a chattel (or alleging it) and thus fostered a movement which progressively reduced masculinity as toxic, as well as male and female as being alone what is to be joined together, in marriage.
Liberals saw what irresponsible capitalism (benefits obtained by merit, while enabling charity) sometimes did (love canals) and thus obtained political power toward state socialism.
Nothing new if you consider the architect of it all, and the end up those seduced by him.
