The fundamentalist Christians are an oppressive patriarchal force with significant power at all levels of government.
The other group (the immigrants lobbying for "separate men's and women's sessions at public pools") doesn't exist, far as I can tell. I'm all ears though if you can point these people out. Hell, name one person off the top of your head who is leading the charge on that issue.
