> Isn't the "God the Father" used to show the maleness of the Chrisitan God?
No, the maleness of Christian God is not something that needs clarification. Appending “the Father” signals the author’s personal beliefs, asserts god’s righteousness, etc. all with plausible deniability
> Does the article make the case that an alignment with Satanism is a bad thing?
Technically correct, persuasively irrelevant. Satanism is without a doubt seen as something blatantly “evil” among his target audience.
> Is the opposition to Christianity a problem for modern Feminism? Even an historical opposition
Aside from abortion probably not. But most religious groups preach conservatism, and are thus anti feminism.
> To me this article simply reads as early feminists rebelled against a society they felt was oppressive to them by adopting what they saw as their enemies enemy as a mascot. I don't think that is particularly disparaging of feminism is it?
Intentions matter. The author’s goal is to create an association between satanism (-> Satan -> evil) and feminism (-> progressive social movements). If we look at this guy’s other works we will find the same agenda. It is enabling a justification of pre-existing beliefs of the basis of rationality because now there are facts, even if those facts have literally zero salience to the issue at hand. To state facts neutrally, but obscure, irrelevant, and persuasively chosen facts is a dirty technique because it’s effective and it gives everyone plausible deniability upon accusations of having a bias
