The cultural marxist theory is really a capitalist apologetic with antisemitic overtones pushed by the usual Roman Catholic deep state individuals from the Heritage Foundation, Council for National Policy and the like.

The industrial revolution was also one of the primary forces in igniting feminism as can be gathered from a reading of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique.
