That problem is easily solved:
1. By re-instating and defining better the purposes of the FSF.
2. By having people who are loyal to free software fundamental
principles.
3. By having one of fundamental principles for free software to remain
apolitical in any other issues but free software.
The real leadership of free software movement further is not
constrained neither by GNU.org neither by those who introduce feminism
movement such as Ludovic Courtès, Andy Wingo ando thers into GNU
project.
Everybody is free to become a new "Richard Stallman" and promote free
software in society, and making ground for the same principles he has
already established.

They are not, you are mistaken. To say so, you would need to review
the basic legalities as I did review it. There are Articles of
Association, there are By-Laws and plethora of RMS articles.
If people within FSF are not loyal to those principles, they can
pervert the organization, that is possible. As of now there is no
evidence of such activity, and FSF shall be supported without any
doubts.
