Feminism: The Rot at America’s Root

Philip Nier

In a meeting in 1969, a gathering of feminist, Marxist women chanted these words, which mirror a form of catechism:

Q.”Why are we here today?” 

A.”To make revolution,” 

Q.”What kind of revolution?” 

A.”The Cultural Revolution,”

Q.”And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” 

A.”By destroying the American family!” 

Q.”How do we destroy the family?” 

A.”By destroying the American patriarch,”

Q.”And how do we destroy the American patriarch?” 

A.”By taking away his power!”

Q.”How do we do that?”

A.”By destroying monogamy!” 

Q.”How can we destroy monogamy?”

A.”By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution, abortion, and homosexuality!” 

Over the last fifty years, we have seen the steady degradation of culture and society. They told us what they wanted to accomplish, how they were going to do it, and, by all appearances, they accomplished their goal. 

Their oppressors were their families, and their prison was their home. In fighting for freedom from their chains, they found themselves in greater bondage to a more cruel master than they had before. They are slaves of corporate jobs, and the homes that were meant to be their sanctuary are crumbling around them. They have made themselves unlovely to all who would love them. We thought, “What’s the problem with women trying to gain a little more freedom than they feel they have?” This. This is the problem. They got what they asked for, and it’s not good. 

Feminism is a rotting fungus at the American root. Much of the wicked nonsense we are dealing with today would not be here if it were not for the crafty serpent of old whispering in a few women’s ears, once again saying, “Did God really say?” If you think I’m overstating the case and have made too much of too little, read what they wrote. 

Did God Really Say?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, an early feminist activist in the mid to late 19th century, said this, “The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women’s emancipation.” From what is Stanton wanting to be emancipated from? She wants to be set free from the created order and her God-ordained role in life and society. Stanton went on to create the “Women’s Bible,” encouraging people to read the Bible as they would any other book, “accepting the good and rejecting the evil it teaches.” The heart of the feminist revolt is a revolt against God’s good design. They view his commands as bondage and his design as domination. 

In the Garden at the beginning of time, the first time God declared something to be “not good” was when man was without a woman. So God made it good by making a helper for him. The feminist movement inverts this by stating that what God says is “not good” (man being with a woman as a helper) is in fact “good” and what he says is “good” (a man with a woman as a helper) is in fact “not good.” They raise their fists against God’s design for marriage and the nuclear family and declare him to be a liar. In fact, they argue for the destruction of the nuclear family as it is.

“I think that a revolution—a socialist revolution—will break down the family structure as we know it now…The concept of marriage will change, because marriage right now is a kind of slave contract. … Probably, in the future, marriage itself, as a contract, will not exist. … People will have the freedom to relate to each other as humans, to enjoy each other intellectually, sexually, and whatever else. I don’t see where there are any great advantages to the nuclear family at this point.” (Denise Oliver, Palente: Voices and Photographs of the Young Lords, 1969-1971)

We see the results of such a socialist revolution. Marriage rates plummeting, divorce rates skyrocketing, and polyamory and other such unnatural unions becoming mainstream. It has all happened. They told us what was going to happen. They told us how they were going to do it. But we were either too dumb or too deaf to understand. 

Smuggled in under the false pretenses of freedom from oppression: homosexuality, polygamy, abortion, promiscuity, and prostitution were all brought in. The enemy’s goal was never women’s liberation but rather, since feminism cannot create but only destroy, the goal was the destruction of societal norms and hierarchical structures. This destruction of hierarchy is a complete breakdown of the natural order, since everywhere you look, hierarchy exists. Whether one likes it or not, it is ther,e and to destroy it is to destroy oneself. The egalitarianism we have as a result has found residence for itself in many unsuspecting institutions, including conservative homes, churches, and schools. 

We are all Feminists Now

Whether we like it or not, whether we are aware of it or not, we are all feminists now. We have all been swimming in the same pool, and we are all soaked with the same poisoned water. The SBC has been rocked and all but destroyed by the Me Too movement; false accusations of abuse have destroyed good men, and pastors drench their neckties in sweat at the prospect of preaching a sermon on submission and gender roles in marriage and society. We give every excuse to women in their sins while giving no grace to men for theirs. All of us are more feminist than we wish to admit, and, in case I’m not being clear, that’s not a good thing. 

We tend to self-censor our speech or use apologetic language regarding issues like feminism and all its nasty byproducts, most pervasively within the church. Not because people in the church are more feminist than those who are in the secular culture, but more so because they have been infected with the feminist virus, not knowing they are ill. 

They rail against feminism in all its extremes while embracing it in its milder forms. This is done in the church by adopting terminology in the church like “egalitarianism” and “complementarianism” (which both miss the mark). When homosexuality or abortion is brought up, it is prefaced by a litany of apologies. Women are allowed to lead church services in every capacity except the preaching of God’s word (in some cases, they are allowed to do that as well). We blur, or sometimes erase, the distinctions between men and women by destroying the distinctives between their roles.  

So What?

Feminism has accomplished virtually all its goals. If there are emasculated men, thank a feminist. If there is rampant divorce, thank a feminist. If there is easy access to porn, thank a feminist. If there is cultural acceptance for OnlyFans, thank a feminist. If there is abortion, transgenderism, homosexuality, and all other forms of sexual evil, thank a feminist. 

And remember, I didn’t say it; they did. 

If you’ve read through all of this and still conclude that it’s not that big of a deal, then I’d encourage you to do your own research on the history of feminism. It is quite clear that the results and admissions of the feminist movement itself have not led to freer, happier women. As feminist activist Sophia Lewis wrote in her book “Abolish the Family,” the goal is that women feel “less alone, less burdened by caring responsibilities, less trapped.” Women are actually more alone, less free, and more depressed than ever. Ask a pharmacist.

So not only was the Trojan horse of feminism used to smuggle in transgenderism, homosexuality, abortion, promiscuity, and all its other wicked cousins, but the Trojan horse was actually just a mirage, and the modern woman is now worse off than ever. The devil is still more crafty than any other beast of the field, and he played one of his best tricks: culture has lost because feminism has won.

If we are to overthrow the tyranny of feminism, then it requires that we no longer pull our punches but direct them to where it hurts. Men must no longer be passive slaves of the cause. They must lead. The goal is not “happy wife, happy life,” the goal is “holy wife, holy life.” Women need to be taught to be quiet, keepers at home, and submissive. They were made to aid their man in the mission God has for him. This is God’s design. It does not devalue women; it defines them. We must speak the truth and stop qualifying it. It serves no good when truth is denied its strength.

If feminism is to be destroyed, then it often requires that women step down from power so that men might step up. 

You will find that when the vacuum of vacant power positions is felt, it can be filled by men of character.
