( 2014 ) They'll tell you it was abortion. Sorry, the historical record's clear: It was segregation.

17. Sort of. To be REALLY clear: It is white patriarchy.

White males are a minority any way you cut it.

So how do they keep an unbreakable hold on power?

With an ideology that lets them co-opt white women against non-white people (racism) and men of color against women (misogyny).

They let men of color just far enough into the 'clubhouse' to sanction their treatment of women as domestic livestock.

They let white women just far enough into the 'clubhouse' to reassure them they're better than those brown people.

Then they position themselves, the white patriarchy, as the "protectors" of the status quo that maintains those privileges for the women and men of color whom they, the white males, otherwise regard with mortal fear.

So yes, the mobilization of Evangelicals to re-establish de facto segregated education, housing, etc., in the wake of civil rights laws breaking de jure color barriers was natural and happened first because those victories happened first.

Then when women started getting notions that their status under the law should be something better than "domestic livestock", they mobilized the same bunch of useful idiots in precisely the same way.

And as long as we allow them to pit us against one another as they have for literally centuries, we will be making progress in painfully slow and expensive increments, fighting rearguard actions and retreats all the way.
