There is a ton o’ rambling going on here, I feel you haven’t thought these things through. For example, you don’t seem to realize that more men also no longer identify as religious generally or Christian in particular, not just women. You should widen your view.

Also, let’s be honest: you come off as a total douchebag. I thought Christians were supposed to be better than that. It might be time to review the book of Matthew, particularly 5:39 and 7:12.

Anyway, you may have followed some “breadcrumbs” (note: best to avoid that word, it makes you look like a QAnon believer, a group that will go down as one of the biggest laughingstocks in the history of Western Civilization), but you seem to have a martyrdom complex rather than considering other points of view.

Let me suggest a few things to chew over:

Why does anyone attack anyone? You blame it on Satan, but there may be other reasons. For instance, why do Christians attack feminism?

In particular, why might feminists have a beef with Christianity? Again, Satan isn’t the only answer. Here are some suggested ones, but there are more.

  • I’ll give you one for free: they see the Bible as explicitly misogynist, and reasonably so. Obviously, that would be a negative from their point of view.
  • Why have Christians attacked feminism from the very beginning, long before feminists were making a loud critique of Christianity in return? Might this affect how feminists view the religion?
  • Feminism holds that women should have more of the bodily autonomy and social freedom enjoyed by men but that women have been denied. How might that affect the situation?
  • Feminists believe women should have the right to pursue things they’ve been traditionally denied, like higher education and careers in lucrative fields. How might Christian attitudes affect them in those areas?
  • Feminists believe wives should not be forced to be subservient to their husbands. How might Christian attitudes affect them in this area?

Hopefully, these can serve as a jumping-off point for your consideration.
