I’ve been writing about the feminist agenda for some 20 years now, warning of its intentions. The year 2021 will finally bring those ideas alive. It has already begun, with the House’s proposal to ban the words “he” and “she” from official language. Their claim is gender neutrality in the name of inclusion, but their intent is to obliterate the family. If deleting the words “father,” “mother,” “son,” and “daughter” doesn’t convince you of this, nothing will.
This has always been their goal. In 2009, Maria Shriver, along with the left-wing think tank Center for American Progress, produced an exhaustive, 400-page document titled “The Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation Changes Everything.” Its fundamental argument is that government policies and laws “continue to rely on an outdated model of the American family.” Shriver and company seek to remedy this supposed problem by proving we are no longer living in a “man’s world,” but in a “woman’s world.”
What today’s Democratic Party wants is a matriarchy. The Shriver Report boasts: “As we move into this phase we’re calling a woman’s nation, women can turn their pivotal role as wage-earners, as consumers, as bosses, as opinion-shapers, as co-equal partners in whatever we do into a potent force for change. Emergent economic power gives women a new seat at the table—at the head of the table.”
While the feminist agenda has been at play for some time, the two apparent wins for Democrats in the Georgia runoff elections for Senate solidifies this group’s ability to get things done. And if you’d like a peek into what goes on among this group, here’s one: “There is something special that happens when you get a group of powerful women in a room … and shut the door.”
This is a quote from the 2010 book Secrets of Powerful Women, a compilation of essays from left-wing female politicians. The book claims to represent both political philosophies, but it does no such thing. Out of more than 20 women, only a handful were Republicans. And not just any Republicans, feminist Republicans: “A woman’s right to control her own body is absolutely central to our success as a civilization. The world’s most oppressive regimes target those who would liberate women from the shackles of ignorance or bondage. This includes reproductive ‘bondage’—and parallels can be drawn in our own country,” wrote Susan Bevan, co-chairwoman of Republican Majority for Choice.
Feminism is no longer solely the domain of the Democratic Party. It has seeped into the Republican Party, too, as well every other sector of American life. The feminist elite don’t just reside in our government. They’re also professors, lawyers, journalists, writers, judges, actresses, bureaucrats, psychologists, and activists. What these women have in common is clout, and they believe they know what’s best for you and your family. But their entire worldview, about men, about women, about sex, about marriage, about motherhood, and about politics, is fueled by the belief that nature is the enemy, that biology isn’t real, and that the family is dead.
And now, having solidified their place in Congress, they will make real headway. I hope you’re ready.
