I keep hearing this doctrine preached that women are primarily the reasons why churches are brought down, is that true? I don't believe that but hearing it over and over again is making me doubt and feel just awful.

No. If the churches were living as God intended, in love and unity, with Christ as head, then women would not be usurping the place that God has for them.
The true church is being built by Lord Jesus. He cannot fail. What calls itself church but is not may well crumble and fall. It would be better to have 30 consecrated and devoted believers in a fellowship than a megachurch of make believers as is all too common now.
We are seeing this word come to pass:
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
"The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie...."

I think it would be things like Sin Heresy and Pride.

No, it is not true.
Sometimes the full inclusion of people from marginalized groups (people of the "wrong" gender or ethnic group or income level or nationality) in the church causes friction in the short term, but that's not a sign of decline; it's growing pains. Once the church works through that friction and moves to a point beyond it, we have moved more fully into Jesus' calling to us.

No. It isn't. That's just some misogynistic nonsense. One sex is not more prone to sin than the other.

If you hear this from the pulpit, go to the Bishop who oversees your pastor and ask if this is an established doctrine of you denomination. The greater body of Christ may not be aware of what is being preached in your church.

No it is not true.
May I ask a question.
In the missionary societies supported by the church you attend, how many single women are there serving as missionaries?
Do they out number the single men?
Ask your minister who preaches the above nonsence, why there are more women serving, and more women attending church?
Could it be that because more women attend church, are involved in church that there is more opertunity for women to qurrel!
Question Where are the men? Why doesn't his preaching bring men into the church?

Perhaps what you have heard are comments about the societal influence of feminism. While perhaps a contributing element and anti-family, I would be reluctant to place all blame on this influence.
I would suggest the larger issues of denominationalsim spoken against in 1 Corinthian 3, Being "in the flesh" (both conservative legalism or liberal activism) spoken against in Galatians, conducting Christianity as a collectivized system rather than dealing at the individual level advocated in Romans 14:5, and worldly entanglement (from which Satan, who sets the course of the world, gains access to the church) spoken against in James 4:4 all combine to harm Christians in many ways.
