We cannot reclaim our culture and Republic until we recognize how we got where we are.
Clearly, America did not go from being a constitutional, biblically centered republic to an overreaching tyranny overnight. Modern America — where drag queens openly prey upon children, where infanticide under the banner of “abortion” is legal in many places, where the people are taxed to death and property rights are virtually nothing more than an illusion — is the result of several destructive ideologies which society has been coaxed into accepting over the years.
Among those ideologies, it is difficult to say which has inflicted the most damage. But one of the top contenders for that spot is inarguably feminism.
What has made feminism so dangerous is that its enticing nature (who wouldn’t want to ensure women are treated fairly, right?) has caused even well-meaning conservatives to accept it, not just as something good, but as essential to our way of life.
In the same way many conservative individuals in the country mistakenly believe the United States was founded as a democracy, or who naively support the big government legacy of the New Deal, many erroneously suppose that feminism is something benign, and that without it, women today would be living in something akin to sharia law.
But Jesus said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Following that, it’s clear that feminism has been everything except beneficial to American society. Just look at the “fruits” of feminism:
It is feminism that has been behind the normalization of abortion in this country, as in many countries. It has promoted promiscuity and convinced women that careers are more important than motherhood, resulting in the trivialization of marriage, families, and parenthood. In turn, this has led to more crime and the welfare state.
How, then, can feminism’s proponents claim it is good, when by every measurement its effects have been detrimental, making Americans more poor, less safe, and less happy?
Furthermore, feminism is inherently at odds with the free, republican principles and the Christian foundation on which America rests. Or, stated another way, feminism is incompatible with Americanism.
In a 2014 New American article, Sam Blumenfeld wrote that America is a biblical republic and Americanism is the nation’s biblical religion; that although our people practice many faiths and we have freedom of religion, we have a common set of biblical beliefs related to our understanding of America’s unique origin and place in the world — that is Americanism.
“Americanism is the religion that the Puritans brought to America with their Bibles, and thus the Bible has been on the American mind ever since,” Blumenfeld wrote.
“Even though our progressive educators have worked mightily to erase the Bible from the American mind, they cannot succeed as long as a considerable body of Americans still adhere to the teachings of the Bible: in Southern mega-churches, on Christian radio and television, in celebrations of Bible-based holidays, and in the growing largely Christian homeschool movement.”
In his 2007 book Americanism: The Fourth Great Western Religion, Yale professor David Gelernter wrote:
“America is no secular republic; it’s a biblical republic. Americanism is no civic religion, it’s a biblical religion. Americanism doesn’t merely announce the nation’s ideals on its own authority; it speaks on behalf of the Bible and the Bible’s God, as Lincoln did in his Second Inaugural Address.”
Now that we know what Americanism is, we must understand what feminism truly is.
In reality, feminism is nothing more than Marxism. Remember, Marxism involves the pitting of the classes against each other. In traditional Marxism, this is the rich versus the poor.
“Cultural Marxism” is the term to describe the application of Marxism to differences of identity, race, and culture as opposed to economic status. Rather than rich versus poor, it pits whites against blacks, young against old — and women against men. It is within this framework that feminism falls.
But the aim of cultural Marxism, and more specifically feminism, is the same as it is in every iteration of Marxism: Destabilize traditional institutions in order to eliminate Christianity, erase national identities, and create totalitarian government.
Remember too that Marxism is inherently anti-Christian. Marx, in fact, was fervently opposed to the Christian faith, as he personally expressed in much of his poetry. In one of his poetic passages, he wrote:
Thus heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well.
My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell.
In summary, feminism, by seeking to destroy the biblical relationship between man and women for the sake of a corrupted version of “equality” and by being a manifestation of collectivist Marxism, is diametrically opposed both to Christianity and America’s republican system of government.
Feminism has also been responsible for the debilitation, feminization, and infantilization of the modern Western man — which is why the conservative movement today must focus on championing traditional masculinity if it is to have any hope of restoring the republic.
