Yes that is correct. Feminism comes originally from Marx and Engels.
Marx said in The German Ideology that men consider wives first as property while Engels in The Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State said that all discrimination of women comes from patriarchal males and advocated that women be brought into the labor force. Meanwhile in the 1920's Georg Lukacs instituted his "cultural terrorism" which urged women and children to rebel against sexual and gender mores. In the 1930's the Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism created the "critical theory" which tries to destroy the West's foundations of patriarchy and the family, along with matriarchy and "androgyny theory" where male and female roles would be reversed or blurred. The Frankfurt School would continue to the women's liberation of the counterculture of the 1960's, again a model to destroy the family, a constant Marxist theme, where Jewish women started the feminist movement. This can continue to the present day where liberals always praise the "modern woman" and look down on mothers and to the Trotskyist neoconservative ideology of Bush where he famously declared, "Successful societies recognize the rights of women," as if no society was successful before 1900.

Spot on Traditional Guy, feminism can be summed up as the application of the Marxian principle of class warfare to the relations between the sexes, just as political liberalism is really no more than the application of the doctrines of protestantism, that is, of religious liberalism, to the political sphere.

Well that's the point. Marx saw everything as a "history of class struggle" and that included the genders where the "patriarchal male opresses the woman."
