Your theory on the charity movement is interesting. I had once heard that the rise of feminism was linked with the philosophy of John Stuart Mill; however I have not explored this angle. Given that feminism (as it currently exists) seems to be overtly modelled on a total rejection of anything feminine, it seems likely that there was male hand at play in its shaping.
I don't think that one should relay too closely on Baudelaire's opinion of women - the man was notoriously masochistic in his relationships with women and actively sought out females that would in some way either emotionally or physically abuse
him. Hence the type of women (in most instances, cruel whores, lesbians or other forms of succubi) he is writing about, he is also, somewhat perversely, attracted to. 'Flowers of Evil' is largely written in praise of lesbians.
Homosexual Tantra is simply not possible, no matter how much homosexuals of either sex would like to appropriate it for themselves.

Although that question has not been studied yet, there are strong
grounds for thinking that the rise of the femininist movement is
closely linked to the development of the charity movement, which was
launched at the end of the XVIIth century in England by females of
the bourgeoisie and by women of a certain aristocracy, namely the
Urban one, whose husbands were involved in the so-called
ongoing 'industrial revolution' and, therefore, in the uprooting and
in the pauperisation of the people. Here, it's not a case of the left
hand - the businessman's wife - giving back what the right hand - the
businessman - has taken away, or it is so only apparently : in fact,
the right hand takes away freedom, the relative and organic outer
freedom which the ancestors of the peasants and of the workers of
that time had, while the left hand gives handouts in return to them,
it being understood that 'handouts' is an euphemism for 'slavery' and
that the ancient slave had far more freedom in a generic sense than
the modern slave, be it only because it is the little inner freedom
that those individuals who accept charity may have which is taken
away from them. The whole thing has been running smoothly since the
beginning of the XIXth century. Left-right-left-right-let-right-left-
right-left-right. The whole thing is based on 8 and resentment. When
both hands meet, it's called 'charity business'.
Once again, the considerations developed on the feminine nature and
its consequences by Friedrich Nietzsche, Otto Weininger, as well as
by Baudelaire, Gustave Flaubert, by Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, the last
offspring of one of the most ancient aristocratic Frank family,
in 'L'Eve future', and by other French novelists of the late XIXth
century, who, unlike their English counterparts, didn't have to rely
on the money of wealthy female intellectuals to be published, spring
to mind. "There seems to be a qualitative judgement formed by women,
that if something is written by another woman, then it must be of
merit", and, we would add, that if something is written by another
woman or by a male homosexual.
As is well-known, one of the best male-friends of Blavatsky, who
accompanied her to India on her first visit to that country and who
interpreted Tantric practices from an homosexual standpoint, was a
male homosexual. As is also well-known, it's been a long time since
the 'House of Commons', the 'Reichstag' and the 'Assemblée nationale'
have turned into - to be polite - a true 'birdcages'.
Three heavens there are; two Savitar's, adjacent:
In Yama's world is one, home of heroes.
As on a linch-pin, firm, rest things immortal:
He who hath known it, let him here declare it.
- Rig Veda I.35 (Griffith)
