The phrase 'pansexual', which has entered common language in recent years, stems directly from Freud's work. The next reference would be Marcuse's 'Eros and civilisation' then. Thus the 'Frankfurt School' is obviously the mother school. http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Sexual_Bolshevism is not without merit and the term 'sexual bolshevism' is in itself, interesting ('Pussy riot', anyone?). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_theory describes the pseudo-idea's that have become influential in the last decade and which can be viewed as a follow-up to the 'traditional' homosexual and/or feminist agenda.

This is the summary of 'Sanctifying Misandry : Goddess Ideology and the Fall of Man' : "To set the stage, the authors discuss two massively popular books - Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Riane Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade - both of which rely on a feminist conspiracy theory of history [?]. They then show how some goddess feminists and their academic supporters have turned what Christians know as the Fall of Man into the fall of men. On this interpretation, presented in three "documentary" films, our ancestors once lived in an egalitarian paradise under the aegis of a benevolent great goddess. But men either rebelled or invaded, replacing the goddess with gods and establishing patriarchies that have oppressed women ever since. In the end, however, women will restore the goddess and therefore paradise as well. The authors critique this belief and compellingly show how it has encouraged the widespread misandry in popular culture. They conclude with several case studies of modern goddess religion and its effects on mainstream religion."
That's all very well, but the premises are not sound. Goddesses were not exactly replaced by God. Nor were the goddesses absorbed in God. Rather, the "compassionate and the merciful", whether in Judaism, in Christianity to a fuller extent and, to an even fuller extent in Islam, was canonically, so to speak, dressed as a masculine one, under a plethora of masculine names and titles.
"The prophets in the Old Testament were repeatedly chastising and warning the people against idolatry, ie, moon worship. Hosea criticizes the people for it : 'They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms' (Hosea 4 vs. 13). Hosea prophesizes what Yahweh will do : 'I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts' (Hosea 2 vs. 11). This prophecy did occur for the moon goddesses' new moon rites ; feast days and Sabbaths were taken over by the male god Yahweh. They became his edits through the Ten Commandments and laws of Deuteronomy. The Moon Goddess's rituals became the rites of a jealous, warring, and punishing masculine deity. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all absorbed and adopted all the customs of moon worship. Judaism and Islam base their holy days on the lunar calendar.
The Hebrew Sabbath was adopted from Babylonian moon worship. In Babylon, the full moon was the day of rest. The word sabattu comes from Sa-bat and means Heart-rest ; it is the day of rest, which the moon takes when full, for at that time it is neither increasing nor decreasing. On this day, which is the direct forerunner of the Sabbath, it was considered unlucky to do any work or to eat cooked food or to go on a journey. These are the things that are prohibited to the menstruating woman. On the day of the moon's menstruation everyone, whether man or woman, was subject to the similar restrictions, for the taboo of the menstruating woman was on all. (...) The Babylonian 'sabattu' was the 'evil day' of the moon goddess Ishtar, when it is not unlikely that she was thought to be actually menstruating." (S. Karimah, Moon Goddess, p. 31)
As far as Allah is concerned, see 'Moon-O-Theism : A Study of Mideast Moon-God Religion', especially the chapter called 'The Vulviform Black Stone With Its Silver Casing'.
As to the mother school of the theories in question, it is, to the best of our knowledge, the neo-Marxist so-called Frankfurt School.
