Feminism is as old as the hills, and Jews didn’t invent it. Sexual tension is part of the biological mechanism of sexual reproduction and has been observed even in fruit flies. It’s a mechanism for promoting stability and fitness of the species. That said, yeah, there was a KGB push to promote feminism in the West during the Cold War. That’s how Betty Friedan got her first writing job. She was tasked with pushing feminism for the CPUSA as early as 1947 if I recall correctly. Somehow that led her into more lucrative positions when she probably switched sides and started pushing it for the CIA, which also employed Gloria Steinem BTW.
For those who think feminism is new, ask yourselves why ancient patriarchs felt compelled to write male authority into law thousands of years ago. Obviously, it was an issue long before the Enlightenment and other recent follies. Read the classics and you’ll see it was as much of a problem then as it is now.
